Due to good weather, good progress was made with cutting steel om board the Rena over the past two weeks. The total steel weight removed now amounts to approximately 200 tonnes.
On Friday 24 August an additional 70 tonnes was removed from the forward section using the Bell 214 helicopter. The focus this week – weather permitting – will be the continued cutting of the forecastle deck and deck equipment, as well as replenishing cutting materials and equipment by helicopter.
