SloveniaA ferry named MV Barima departed from Georgetown on Sunday heading to Port Kaitum in the interior of the oil-rich Essequibo region. The vessel was intended to carry crude oil but encountered difficulties during its journey. Initially traveling along the Atlantic coast of the South American country, the ferry then entered a river channel. According to Juan Edghill, the Guyanese Minister for Public Works, initial reports indicate the ship capsized in the sea after being hit by a large wave. A distress call was received around 5 PM Central European Time, prompting an immediate rescue operation. As of now, 67 people have been rescued, including 15 children, while 66 others are still missing. Premier Mark Phillips stated the government aims to locate and rescue everyone on board, and has established emergency assistance centers for affected families.
