New Zealand - Stern of stricken ship Rena sinking into the sea

http://www.euronews.net/ A stricken cargo ship off the east coast of North Zealand is sinking into the sea, authorities said on Tuesday.

Rena is stranded on a reef some 22 kilometres from Taraunga.

Only the foremost part of the stern, the rear section of the 47,000-tonne Rena, is sticking out of the water after the Liberia-flagged vessel split in two on Sunday.

It ran aground in October, spewing hundreds of tonnes of fuel and containers into the sea.
