Local authorities have since notified officials in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) to be on the lookout for the boat containing human bodies which disappeared after it was found floating offshore Guyana on Monday.
The Ministry of Public Works in a statement last night said that it is possible that the boat might have drifted to T&T due to the direction of the ocean current.
According to the Ministry, the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) has published a navigational warning through the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) requesting vessels to be vigilant for a boat adrift and to report same if there is any sighting.
