Daina Shipping representative Konstantinos Zacharatos, speaking from Athens, again apologised on behalf of the company to the Bay of Plenty community and people of New Zealand.

I apologise for the actions of the crew, the accident and any damage caused. Right from the start, Daina Shipping Company has used all resources available to it to address and limit any damage caused," he said in a statement. A storm overnight on 11 October resulted in the loss of an estimated tonnes of oil from Rena , some of it washing up at various points along the Bay of Plenty coastline. Continuing bad weather the following night saw 86 containers lost overboard.

A further 5—10 tonnes of oil was lost from the vessel overnight on 22—23 October. Oil spill response personnel and volunteers, including large numbers of locals, worked to clean oiled beaches and recover debris from the containers.

Wildlife experts from the National Oiled Wildlife Response Team treated oiled birds, including little blue penguins and pied shags, and pre-emptively caught 60 rare New Zealand dotterel to prevent them becoming oiled. These birds were later re-released back into cleaned environments in a staged released programme.

Over 1, tonnes of HFO was eventually recovered from Rena , with all of the accessible oil removed by 15 November. Containers lost overboard during bad weather were intercepted and recovered, where possible, along with dispersed container contents that washed up. Container removal operations from Rena began once all of the oil had been removed, with the first container lifted off on 16 November By 26 December, a total of containers had been removed. The commissioners found that remaining contaminants could threaten the reef's ecosystem.

But the worst pollutants, oil and plastic beads, posed a "negligible" risk to the environment. A monitoring regime will be put in place to measure for adverse effects, controlled by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council and paid for by the consent holder.

The commissioners said leaving the wreck on the reef went against the wishes of many Maori, who considered the site a taonga. At least one iwi has indicated that it will appeal the consent decision. But the commissioners also said they did not have the statutory power to order the wreck to be removed.
