Three persons working for a Canadian exploration company escaped without serious injuries Tuesday evening after their cargo vessel slammed into a barge on the Waini River, Region One, and sank.
The vessel, said to belong to Canamex Resources, went down with over $600,000 in food and other supplies. One of its two engines also sank. The supplies were for Canamex operations.
According to an eyewitness, the cargo boat, left around 10:00 hrs from Charity, Essequibo coast, on Tuesday to head to Waini River where Canamex is currently conducting exploration in its concessions.
There was reportedly heavy fog and the cargo boat reportedly struck the barge which was being towed by a tugboat.
Kaieteur News was told that the barge was not lit as the regulations require. However, the tug was.
Workers on the tug assisted the three crewmembers and managed to retrieve one of the engines.
