The oil spilled from a Liberian- flagged cargo ship stranded on a reef off New Zealand shore has become "worst ever" maritime environmental disaster in the country. A 5km-long oil slick leaking from the MV Rena, which is sitting precariously on Astrolabe Reef about 20km off Tauranga Harbour, continued to spead last night, as response teams tried to break up the spill with dispersant.
