Search for missing fishermen

Those responsible for the search for six missing fishermen believe that they are probably inside the wreck of their sunken vessel.

The 35-metre fishing vessel ran aground on the Isla de Erbosa and sank. Two bodies have so far been recovered and there is one survivor who needed hospital treatment for hypothermia and contusions.

According to the survivor, most of the crew were sleeping at the time of the incident and this is why it is thought that the remaining six crew members may still be inside the vessel.

The crew consisted of five Spanish, two Indonesian and two Portuguese nationals and the vessel was flying the Portuguese flag.
