A second oil tanker was en route to the central Arctic Tuesday to unload the Nanny that ran aground near Gjoa Hav en, Nunavut, last week.

The Tuvaq is heading for Cambridge Bay, said Todd McKay, of Nunavut's fuel division.

There, the ship will unload before heading to Gjoa Haven.

"Then they're going to move across to the Nanny and take as much fuel off as needed to get the ship floating again," McKay said.

The Nanny ran aground near Gjoa Haven. It is carrying more than nine million litres of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel but is not leaking.
