The stranded vessel MV Rena has again been battered by heavy
swells and rough weather which swept across New Zealand over recent
days. The vessel has now broken up and is effectively now in two
pieces, albeit it does still remain firmly grounded.
Hundreds of containers remain on board, with nine more being lost
overboard or crushed. An unknown quantity of oil remains onboard
and further sheens have also been spotted coming from the bow and
stern of the vessel.
Both Maritime NZ and Salvers continue to monitor the situation and
are on standby for further developments.
