A tugboat arrived Saturday night to tow the disabled Russian
container ship carrying hundreds of tons of fuel further away from
Canada's British Columbia shores and into more sheltered waters, a
spokesperson with the Canadian Forces' Joint Rescue Coordination Center
said.
"When they get the vessel under tow, they'll first head in a northwesterly direction and get it further from the coastline and eventually into more sheltered waters to the north of Haida Gwaii… Then a decision will be made on where to take it," Navy Lt. Pendergast told Canadian TV news channel CTVNews.
