In this video, you can take a look at what happened when the Napoli broke her back and was run aground on the south coast of the UK.

In the second of our series focusing on ‘Our people at ports’, we catch up with Pierre Chays, our Marine Safety Manager and Pilot who gives us a behind the scenes look at what our Harbours Team is doing during these difficult times in supporting the movement of essential freight services in and out of the Island.

Another good explaining video from Knud Benedict, ISSIMS
