Engineers completed repairs on the ship midday yesterday.

Harbour Radio said the 1,127-foot super oil tanker was approximately 140 miles southeast of Bermuda as repairs were completed.

Engineers successfully boarded the ship close to midnight on Saturday, a week after engine failure left it adrift some 100 miles to the southeast of the Island.

Engineers are headed back to Bermuda aboard the tug Powhatan . The fully loaded British Valour is carrying 300,000 tonnes of North Sea crude oil and was en route from Norway to Freeport, Texas when the engine failure occurred.
