October 14, 2011
It is estimated that 300 tons of heavy fuel oil has spilled from a cargo ship named Rena with a cracked hull off of the coast of New Zealand. The week before 10 tons were drained from the ship but bad weather forced a temporary suspension of the operation. Salvage are now looking to return to pump the remaining fuel and have installed equipment and platforms to provide a level base for the operation. Environmentalists are worried that there will be a major disaster for the wildlife if all 1,700 tons of oil and 200 tons of diesel spill into the ocean. An estimated 1,000 people including soldiers, wildlife experts and residents have come to help and in total it is estimated that some 3,000 people have volunteered to help. So far some 1,000 birds have died since the accident.
