THE Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) has reported that following the incident in which motor tanker ‘Swift Dolphin’ capsized in the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of Corentyne Coast on August 12, accident investigators have since interviewed the two survivors.

The investigators also interviewed one of the owners of the vessel, and spoke to the wife of the missing Captain, MARAD said in a press statement.

The ‘Swift Dolphin’ is owned by Swift N.V. of Paramaribo, Suriname and usually operates between Suriname and Venezuela. The destination in this instance was Venezuela.

The ‘Swift Dolphin’ is now a sunken wreck off the coast of Guyana.

The investigation is ongoing but in the meantime, MARAD is still conducting a search for the two missing crew members and dealing with the navigation safety issues occasioned by the wreck.

MARAD last Wednesday reported that at approximately 21:00 hours on August 12, 2014, the Guyana registered motor tanker ‘Swift Dolphin’ capsized off the coast in the vicinity of the mouth of the Corentyne River. A press release said the tanker was proceeding from Paramaribo, Suriname to Georgetown, Guyana.

There were four crew members on board – two were rescued while the other two are missing. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing to locate the two missing crew members.
