The grounded container ship 'Rena' is seen in the Bay of Plenty near Tauranga on January 9, 2012 after it broke in two in a storm. The cargo ship which caused New Zealand's worst maritime pollution disaster when it ran aground three months ago broke in two in a storm on January 8, 2012, raising fears of a fresh environmental crisis. A team of oil-spill and wildlife specialists has been mobilised as oil again began flowing from the Rena, which has been stuck on Astrolabe Reef off the North Island resort area of Tauranga since October 5.
