F/V LOITADOR rescued the crew, while F/V CASTELO took the Captain aboard and stayed in the area until the F/V FERRAMELES went down.
F/V FERRAMELES’ agents in Stanley are Eurofishing. At the moment the crew are recovering in the Lighthouse Seamen’s Mission. An appeal has gone out for clothing and other items for the men as they could be in the Falklands for a week until they are repatriated.
