Two lifeboats and Royal Navy and RAF helicopters were involved in the rescue of seven Polish crew after the cargo ship was left grounded at Llanddulas. Less than six weeks later, the site of the wreck has been almost completely cleared.
Following the meeting, David Jones MP said:
“I went to thank the services and agencies involved in the clear-up operation. It was a huge success, with environmental damage avoided and disruption kept to a minimum.
”It was important that all involved in the exercise should know how much the Government appreciates their efforts. I was very pleased to meet them and thank them for all their hard work.”
