Salvage Code Red: Series 2
Salvage Code Red returns with another action packed character-driven adventure series. Each episode follows the real-life heroes from some of the world’s biggest salvage companies as they fight against the elements to rescue stricken ships, crews and cargo.
Now in its second series, Salvage Code Red brings more high profile salvage operations that portray a fascinating insight into the world of maritime emergency response. Travelling all around the world to ships in distress, we see some familiar faces from the first series, accompanied by some new characters from the next generation of salvage.
Salvage Code Red debuts never-before-seen-on-TV footage of the inside of sunken vessels, the removal of hazardous materials threatening protected coastline, and live actuality of a stricken tanker running aground. From the recent story of the first 36 hours of America’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico to the shores of Taiwan - during the worst storm in 50 years; and the coasts of the Azores, as massive shipping vessels are thrown out of control – threatening to destroy everything on board and anything in its path.
