A maritime transport type peñero marked with the name "Ana María", which set sail from the town of Güiria, Valdez municipality of Sucre state, was wrecked this Friday, May 17, heading to the island of Trinidad and Tobago, at approximately 4: 30 pm and without the required permission.
A Civil Protection official reported that the boat left the port of Güiria with 21 people.
The event was known this Saturday, when the relatives communicated with residents of this Caribbean island and received information stating that the vessel had not arrived at a port in Trinidad. This again activated the voice of alarm among the residents of Güiria.
Civil Protection officials announced that they were on the boat: Luis Guanipa (47), Deivis Sucre (24), Andy Villegas (32), Antonio Monserrat (25), Alberto Abreu (25), Antonio López (44), Juan Vega (42), César Zorrilla (40), Yoldelvis Mattei (22), Jhosmarly Gómez (19), José Bernal (20), Cristian Martínez (23), José Bello (20), Darwin Cedeño (32), Omel López ( 34), Oscar López (29), Carlos Merchán (20), Dylian Barra (32), Victoria Berra (20), Marolin Bastardo (19) and Adrián Mata (19).
Relatives and relatives of the disappeared request support from government entities and security and rescue bodies to carry out a comprehensive aerial search.
This is the second maritime tragedy that occurs in less than a month, between Güiria and Trinidad, when a new boat is transferred illegally. On April 23, the “Jhonailys José” boat left with 34 crew members, which sank in the Boca de Dragón sector.
On that occasion, 11 people were rescued alive and two deceased. To date, the whereabouts of the other 21 missing persons, most of them women, are unknown, and now another 21 people are added, many of whom are men.
