Husky Oil Operations Ltd. has pleaded guilty in connection with a major offshore oil spill over five years ago.
The incident, involving the SeaRose FPSO, happened in November 2018, with an estimated 250,000 litres of oil spilling into the ocean due to a leak in a flow line connected to the vessel.
Husky, which has since been acquired by Cenovus, faced six charges including breaches of the Atlantic Accord Act, fisheries regulations and the Migratory Birds Act.
VOCM News is in the courtroom and will have more information as the story develops.
