00:00Owners of the vessel involved in the Port of Tyne collision say specialist contractors
00:05are now helping clean beaches affected by spilled plastic pellets. Cadillac admitted the response
00:11had not met community expectations after criticism over the speed of the company's reaction to the
00:18spill. The company says Tyne is of the essence and it is working with councils and with volunteers to
00:25reduce environmental impacts. North East Mayor Kim McGuinness says the clean-up must continue and
00:31those responsible should pay. The pellets have washed up along the coast following the collision
00:36between Windorca and Beejee Orange at the Port. Further recovery efforts are expected to continue
00:43as teams work.
