A tanker collided Friday with a Grimaldi Lines vehicle carrier in the Westerschelde estuary in southern Netherlands near the border with Belgium.

The tanker was reported to have sustained severe damage in the collision and has been taken to Antwerp.

The MV Grande Africa was not badly damaged in the collision, reports say.
