MV Barima Sinking: Missing Survivors and Arrests | Guyana News

The MV Barima sank six days ago, leaving authorities racing to recover victims—73 bodies pulled, 65 identified—as search zones expand to 2,000 sq km with French, Brazilian, and Trinidadian aid. Only 76 people were rescued, but just 35 were on the official passenger list, meaning 32 survivors were never recorded. The captain and an engineer, both arrested for narcotics, remain in custody, while another involved in loading the vessel is being questioned. Though the ship was reportedly under its weight limit, that’s now under scrutiny. The president vows a full investigation into the capsize, as the world watches the grim race to uncover what went wrong.
