Three more bodies have been found on board the Vincentian MV Fair Chance vessel, which overturned on the North Coast of Trinidad on April 2nd.

According to the latest update from the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard, the bodies were recovered on the Easter Monday holiday, however one member of the crew still remains unaccounted for.

“With the assistance of members of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, the Coast Guard was able to board the Fair Chance on 18 April. It allowed them to begin the process of clearing debris. Sadly, the Coast Guard found the remains of only three individuals”.

“According to the survivors who were rescued immediately after the vessel overturned, one person remains unaccounted for. Searches will continue onboard the Fair Chance,” TTCG said.

The first of the five member crew to be recovered was found on April 8th,  six days after the vessel sank.

Monday’s discovery of the other three men was made after a commercial salvage company was hired to cut a hole in the deck of Fair Chance so that access could be gained.
