What has happened?
At around 2.20am on Wednesday 5 October, Rena struck the Astrolabe Reef and grounded en route from Napier to Tauranga.
After serveral weeks most of the bunker fuel could be removed from Rena. According to the sea state conditions the containers on board of the ship was removed one by one. On the weekend around the 7th and 8th of January heavy swell with a significant wave height of  6 m hit the ship and broke it into two parts. The stern section of the ship fall off the reef and sank and is now almost completely submerged. The bow section of Rena still remains stable on the reef.
