The Sea Empress was a supertanker that ran aground off the coast of Wales in 1996, causing a significant oil spill. Approximately 72,000 tons of crude oil were released into the sea, resulting in environmental damage to the coastline and marine ecosystem. Efforts were made to contain and clean up the spill, but it had lasting impacts on the local environment.
A ship named 'Sea Empress' was involved in an oil spill in West Wales in 1996. Details involving this oil spill have been included in an Antarctic Treaty follow-up report held in Hobart, Australia in May 2012, as a basis for evaluating vessels permitted to sail in Antarctic waters. There is no information on 'Antarctica Sea Empress'.
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.
