Rena Container Ship

MV Rena was a 3,351 TEU container ship. On 5 October 2011, due to navigation errors near the Astrolabe Reef, the Rena ran aground near Tauranga, New Zealand, resulting in an oil spill. Over the span of several months, she had been battered by consistent heavy winds and rough seas and on 8 January 2012 the Rena broke in two after a particularly harsh night of bad weather. By 10 January the stern section had slipped off of the reef bank and sunk almost completely. A Seasprite helicopter performs a recce flight over grounded ship Rena, 13 October 2011, 15:44.
