It has been reported to the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) that on Saturday, October 18, 2014, at approximately 02:30 hours, an unidentified vessel heading in the general direction of Georgetown collided with the fishing vessel “Lady Pinky” off the coast of Guyana in the Pomeroon area.
A release from MARAD said that the “Lady Pinky” was reportedly at anchor in this area when it was struck by another vessel. It subsequently sank, but all four of its crew members used their lifesaving equipment which kept them afloat until they were rescued in the evening by another fishing vessel.
They were subsequently transferred to another vessel which brought them into Port Georgetown on Monday October 20.
Officers from MARAD are trying to locate the unidentified vessel and an investigation has been launched.
