20,000 gls of fuel found on board
Grenada police officials who boarded the Island Princess found the vessel intact and valuable equipment and other items on board.
According to reports out of Grenada, the vessel, which was sighted 100 metres off the Grenada coast, was boarded yesterday by members of the CID, Drug squad and Immigration Department.
It was then towed to the Esplanarde Jetty in St George, the island’s capital.
Kaieteur News was told that the vessel had been repainted white. Among items found on board were 20,000 gallons of fuel, a radio set, an aluminium lifeboat and navigational equipment. Several gallons of fuel had spilled in the boat.
According to a source, documents belonging to seamen who had used the vessel before the ill-fated former crew were also reportedly retrieved.
The Home Affairs Ministry had stated on Monday that the US Drug Enforcement Agency had located the ill-fated Island Princess off the coast of Grenada.
The statement indicated that the vessel will be brought back to Guyana.
The Island Princess, with its four-member crew, disappeared about three weeks ago while it was reportedly near Parika.
The bodies of its captain, Titus Buckley Nascimento, 46, and the engineer, 25-year-old Mahendra Singh, were found at Zeelandia, Wakenaam, and on the Hamburg Island seashore respectively.
A third body, identified as that of 23-year-old Ryan Chin, was found near the Queenstown, Essequibo foreshore.
All the bodies were degutted and bore bullet wounds.
Still missing is 46-year-old crewman Rickford Bannister.
