The Rena has moved further on to the Astrolabe reef which has stabilized the vessel and may allow salvage teams time to pump off the remaining oil and diesel fuel on board.   The Rena now is listing at 22 degrees to starboard with its starboard railing at or below the waterline.   Oil recovery may begin the next day as salvage crews begin to setup equipment.  Reports state the team will attempt to empty the largest oil tank of 700 tons then move on to the smaller 350 to 400 ton tank.  Some 55 out of the 88 containers have been located or ashore.   Authorities state that the containers will be collected on Motiti Island.
