Kodima
At 5.00 am on Saturday February 2nd Brixham Coastguard received a request for help from the timber carrier 'Kodima', registered in Malta and with a Russian crew. The vessel was in rough seas approximately 10 miles south of Dodman Point and she was listing at 45 degrees. Coastguard Emergency Tug 'Far Sky' and the tug 'Sigma' from Mounts Bay were mobilised, and Rescue Helicopter R193 from RNAS Culdrose was scrambled to take the 16 crew off. Fowey Lifeboat was also requested to launch. The MCA's Counter Pollution team was notified and a contingency plan was prepared.

Sea Empress Clean Up (no audio)
Shortly after eight o'clock on the evening of 15 February 1996, the oil tanker Sea Empress ran aground in the entrance to Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, one of Britain's largest and busiest natural harbours. In the days that followed, while the vessel was brought under control, some 72,000 tonnes of Forties light crude oil and 480 tonnes of heavy fuel oil spilled into the sea, polluting around 200km of coastline recognised internationally for its wildlife and beauty. This footage shows some of the clean up operations and equipment in use following the Sea Empress environmental disaster.
