In this handout provided by Maritime New Zealand, MV Rena is seen in two pieces after overnight bad weather pounded the vessel, on January 8, 2012 in Tauranga, New Zealand. Floating containers and debris have been found northwest of the vessel and more is expected to wash ashore today. Rena struck Astrolabe Reef off the coast of Mt Maunganui on October 5, 2011 and has spilled 350 tonnes of oil, and almost 100 shipping containers.
