Authorities have lost sight of the boat containing bodies which was discovered floating offshore Guyana on Monday afternoon, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill last night reported while emphasising that efforts have been expanded to locate the vessel and have it brought to shore.
The minister also noted that it has been established that no Guyanese vessel or sea crew is missing. Surinamese counterparts were also contacted but there have been no reports of any missing crew or vessel.
Following the discovery, an inter-agency task force comprising members of the Guyana Defence Force coast guard and the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) was established to conduct investigations.
