Calamitous Cargo


The stern of the Liberian-registered cargo ship Rena is seen grounded on a reef near Tauranga, New Zealand, in this October 20 picture released by the New Zealand Defence Force.
Hundreds of tons of oil have leaked from the container ship since it became stranded on October 5. Crews continue to pump oil from the ship's tanks, according to the New Zealand Herald.
Beach cleanup operations and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation are also ongoing.
