– Captain and three-man crew narrowly escape death
A Captain and his crew narrowly escaped death after a cargo-laden vessel which they were operating capsized in the vicinity of the Pomeroon River, last weekend.
According to information disseminated from the Maritime Administration Department, (MARAD) the locally registered ship “CAPT. SAIF” sank off the coast of Guyana sometime between Saturday and Sunday evening.
The information is that the vessel departed from Georgetown at approximately 07:00 hours on Saturday August 1, 2015, with a consignment of general cargo.
Four persons were on board, but according to the information available to the MARAD, one of them went missing.
While detailed information about the incident was not provided, this newspaper understands that the missing crew member, Guy Roach, 53, of Kitty, Georgetown, has since been rescued.
Kaieteur News was however informed that the vessel was on its way to Port Kaituma, when it started to experience mechanical difficulties. The cargo vessel was said to be overweight with materials, when it went down.
MARAD has since commenced investigations into the issue.
