The Esso Northumbria supertanker, a symbol of shipbuilding prowess in Wallsend-on-Tyne, takes shape at the Swan Hunter shipyard. As the Queens Dock in Swansea bustles with activity, cargo ships like the ill-fated Tresillian brave stormy seas. Meanwhile, oil tankers from Manchester Oil Refinery navigate treacherous waters to fuel nations' energy needs.
