Coast Petty Officer 3rd Class David Weydert says a Coast Guard plane has since made contact with the ship which is taking on water and is without propulsion.
Meanwhile Lt. Junior Grade Brendan Salerno, with the U.S. Coast Guard, told CBC News: 'We have a Coast Guard Hercules C-130 aircraft on scene with the vessel. Right now the vessel has decided to abandon ship so right now we're working on rescue ideas.
'We're trying to get one of our cutters underway and we're sending out some of our helicopters to try and get people that way as well.'
