    The vessel in the photos is the veteran freighter "SeaFrance Nord pas de Calais." Believe she had a spot of engine trouble.

    The tug standing by her is the Emergency Towing Vessel "Anglian Monarch." She is one of the four ETV's stationed around our coasts to render immediate assistance to shipping when required. They were introduced as a result of the major oil spills following the Braer and Sea Empress disasters.

    The ETV's are due to be stood down shortly as a result of government cuts.
