"Svitzer has continued to make good progress removing containers and debris from the Rena wreck over the past week.
Salvage
Salvors have been cutting into containers to allow contents to be removed using the heavy lift helicopter. ·
Salvors have also this week focused on cutting up hatch covers and removing them from the wreck. ·
Favourable weather conditions have allowed dive operations around the stern section to locate and remove bags of debris from the sea bed around the wreck.
At Astrolabe Reef, there are currently moderate W-SW winds, which are expected to persist through until Monday morning. There are swells of around 1m at the reef.
