Guyana-bound container vessel sinks off St. Lucia

Feb 23, 2010 News

A container vessel loaded with cargo bound for Guyana sank off the Coast of St. Lucia some time between Sunday night and yesterday morning.
The vessel, ‘Angel N’, which is registered with Bernuth Lines had just left Port Castries when it encountered problems and sank with its entire cargo.
It was scheduled to make a stop in Barbados before travelling to Guyana.
Fortunately the crewmembers were rescued and taken to safety.
The vessel was loaded with US$40,000 of printers’ ink for this newspaper among other cargo.
An official at the Demerara Shipping Company, the local agent for Bernuth Lines, confirmed the sinking of the container vessel.
However, the local agents are still awaiting further information on how the vessel sank.
While most if not all of the cargo may be unsalvageable, the official said that more than likely the consignees will not suffer financial losses, since the items were insured.
