WASSP sonar used to survey accident site
The cargo vessel Rena went aground on Astrolabe Reef off the north coast of New Zealand
on the 5th of October 2011. In addition to the leaking oil the vessel has also lost
an estimated 70 shipping containers. “These are potentially more worrying now than
the fuel oil leaking from the ship”. A WASSP sonar has been used to locate these
containers both on the seabed and in the water-
