SOUNDBITE: (English) Rob Service, Maritime New Zealand On Scene Commander:"There's still a little bit of oil there but it's minimal, and we're maintaining that status right the way through and as long as it's required until we get to the stage where we've cleaned the lot up and we've returned the beaches back to as close as possible condition that they were in before this incident began."POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLYAstrolabe Reef - 5 April 201213. Various aerials of stricken vessel Rena with bow section perched above water SCRIPTThe cargo ship Rena ran aground on a reef off New Zealand's northern coast back in October.Within days it started shedding its load of cargo and leaking fuel.By January, after months of being battered by pounding surf, the vessel split in two.On Wednesday the whole of the stern finally disappeared beneath the waves completely.Now authorities have filed charges against the owner, Daina Shipping, a subsidiary of Greek giant Costamare, for discharging harmful substances. The company faces a maximum fine of 600,000 NZ dollars, the equivalent of nearly 490,000 US dollars -- plus another 10 thousand dollars for each day the offending continues.The wreck had created what many consider to be the country's worst environmental disaster -- the 400 tons of spilled fuel spoiling pristine beaches and killing untold numbers of fish and at least two thousand sea birds.Maritime New Zealand's local commander does acknowledge conditions have improved..SOT Last month, a preliminary government report found that when it crashed, the Rena was taking short cuts to try and reach port by a deadline.The ships's captain and navigating officer already have pleaded guilty to charges including mishandling the vessel. They're due to be sentenced in May.
