An Indian product tanker has been repaired after losing power and going adrift off Mauritius on 2 September.
The 105,700-dwt Ocean Pride 1 (built 1999) had arrived at the island with 102,000 tonnes of fuel oil from Curacao in the Caribbean.
It was scheduled to dock at the capital, Port Louis, but the breakdown meant it began to drift in the direction of neighbouring Reunion.
AIS data showed the tanker underway to Port Louis again on Thursday.
Reunion authorities said a tug had delivered spare parts to the ship on Tuesday, making repairs possible.
The Sierra Leone-flag tanker’s chief mechanic had identified the problem as a loss of air pressure.
Authorities in Mauritius, scarred by the 2020 sinking of the 203,000-dwt bulker Wakashio (built 2007) and the oil spill that followed, had immediately asked the Ocean Pride 1 to leave the Exclusive Economic Zone.
The vessel broke down 70 nautical miles (130 km) north of Reunion and 90 nautical miles west of Mauritius.
The speed of drift was negligible and there was no danger of a grounding, Reunion authorities said.
The local coastguard had continued to monitor the ship and the authorities maintained constant contact.
The ship is listed as owned by Lido Group of India and operated by Aurigaa Ship Management, which has been contacted for comment.
The Ocean Pride 1 has no port state control detentions listed on its record.
