Description
The oil tanker Sea Empress was holed just outside Milford Haven on 15 February 1996, with the bulk of the heavy oil pollution spreading south and east of the Haven, away from the north Pembrokeshire coast. A precautionary boom to prevent oil spread was put in place across the mouth of Solva Harbour.
