The Sea Empress oil tanker was on the way to the Texaco oil refinery when it became grounded on rocks at St. Ann's head, Milford Haven Waterway in Pembrokeshire, Wales on 15 February 1996. Over the course of a week, The Sea Empress spilt 73,000 tons of crude oil into the sea. The spill occurred within the Coast's National Park - one of Europe's most important and sensitive wildlife and marine conservation areas. It was Britain's 3rd largest oil spillage and the 12th largest in the world at the time.
