Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) liases with US salvors Resolve, meanwhile Braemar continues clean up work. With sea conditions remaining too rough for marine operations, Braemar Howells clean up teams have been hard at work tackling the fresh debris swept ashore on the Coromandel Peninsula in particular. Braemar Operations Manager Neil Lloyd says it has been the most prolonged weather event encountered since the project began. The stormy conditions have had a “significant impact” on the Coromandel and Matakana Island. The rough seas have forced a halt to work on pre-rigging submerged containers lying on the seabed around the Rena wreck site.
