The owner of an oil tanker that was adrift off Nova Scotia after losing its steering says the vessel is now under tow.
Jonathan Anthony, a spokesman for Teekay Corp., says the Australian Spirit is making its way to port in Halifax with the assistance of two tugboats and will likely arrive late Thursday night.
The tanker is carrying 675,000 barrels of crude oil.
Anthony says weather conditions have improved on the seas with reduced wind speeds and there is no danger to the 28-member crew or the ship's cargo.
He says the ship has propulsion but cannot be steered.
