The stricken Marine 1 is being towed to the Mauritanian coast, along with the hundreds of migrants it is carrying, Spanish officials say.
The migrants are believed to have intended to reach Spain's Canary Islands and come from Asia and Africa but it is not clear which countries.
It has been in limbo for a week - one man could not wait any longer and jumped into the sea, before being picked up and taken ashore.
Ahmedou Ould Haye (l), from the Mauritanian Red Crescent, has been in touch with the ship by radio...
... and while negotiations continued between Spain and Mauritania about what to do with the ship, food and water was delivered. (All photos: IOM)
