Australian officials have arrested the captain and chief officer of a Chinese coal ship which ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef.

The captain, 47, has been charged with liability for damage to a marine park, while his colleague, 44, was allegedly on watch when the Shen Neng 1 grounded.

Officials say the ship leaked tonnes of oil and caused extensive damaged to the fragile coral of the marine reserve.

The men face large fines and up to three years in prison if found guilty.
