Episode 1

A giant car carrier, the Heogh Osaka, is grounded on a sandbank in the Solent. Rescuing the 25 souls on board at night is a challenge for the RNLI volunteers from Calshot. It is also a testing time for the tug crews and Southampton harbour patrol, who work day and night to keep the Osaka in position and this busy shipping route open for business and who play a key role in finally bringing the Osaka safely back into port.
