Rena response downgraded

By: Laura Heathcote | Upper North Island News | Friday May 4 2012 15:10

 

The scale of the emergency response to the grounding of the Rena has been downgraded from a national response, to a regional one.

It means the Bay of Plenty Regional Council will now assume responsibility for ongoing monitoring and future clean-up activity.

National On Scene Commander Rob Service says the transition marks a real milestone, and is testimony to many months of hard work by the oil spill response team.

Maritime New Zealand will continue to have a team in Tauranga overseeing the salvage.
