“The situation in the waters of Newfoundland was very bad”, stressed Larriba, who pointed out that in addition in the area “it is still dawn”, so the boats and helicopters of the Canadian rescue service “until very recently had no information.”

The three rescued crewmembers have “hypothermic shock,” according to the government representative, because the temperature of the water is very cold.

Several fishing boats that were fishing in the area also participate in the rescue work, including one from Portugal and another from the town of Marín, in the province of Pontevedra, where the Villa de Pitanxo is based.
