Dhacdada Doonni iyo Xamuulka Loo Heysto

Doonnii MV Barima oo 87 sano jir ah ayaa ka tagtay Georgetown xajintii Sabtida ahayd ee Port Kaituma, laakiin waxay biyo soo gashay oo ay ku dumartay xeebta Essequibo. Liiska rakaabka wuxuu sheegayay 133 qof, laakiin mas'uuliyiinta waxay aaminsan yihiin in ilaa 179 qof ay saarnaayeen.

Rakibaadaha ayaa ku eedeeyay in doonnida ay si khatar ah ugu raranayd dad iyo xamuul culus, oo ay ku jireen makiinado, baabuur, weelasha shidaalka iyo alaab ganacsi. Mid ka mid ah badbaaday ayaa sheegay in doonnidu ay ka buuxnayd sidii safarradii hore, isagoo ka hadlay xamuulka hoosta dabaqa ah.

Eedeymo iyo Tallabaadaha Mas'uuliyiinta

Badbaadayayaashu waxay kaloo sheegteen in doonnidu ay la ildaran tahay dhibaato makiinad kadib markii la ambabaxay, laakiin shaqaartii doonnidu waxay dayactir ku sameynayeen badda halkii ay ku noqon lahaayeen. Welwelka biyaha soo gala ayaa shaqaartii ku tufay mid caadi ah. Boolisku waxay xireen kabtanka iyo shaqaale kale, oo labaduba tijaabada marijuana ku dhaceen.

Madaxa Waaxda Maamulka Badda ayaa sheegay in baaritaan buuxa loo baahan yahay si loo ogaado sida doonnida loo raray iyo in shaqaalaha kormeerka ay si sax ah ugu dhaqmeen. Raiisel wasaare Mark Phillips ayaa ballan qaaday in qof kasta oo mas'uul laga helo uu wajihi doono cunaqabateyn sharci ah.

Mas'uuliyiinta ayaa sheegay in doon $12.7 milyan ah oo laga iibsaday India ay sugaysey dhammaystirka dekad gaar ah oo Port Kaituma. MV Barima waxay dayactir weyn ku qaadatay 2024, waxaana loo qorsheeyay dayactir dheeraad ah bisha Oktoobar.

Old vessel MV Barima capsized off Essequibo coast with possible overload, prompting investigation and detentions

Guyana's worst maritime disaster in decades has left around 100 people feared dead after the MV Barima capsized over the weekend. Of roughly 179 aboard, 76 survived and 53 bodies were recovered as families wait for news of the missing.

Vessel and voyage details

The 87-year-old MV Barima left Georgetown for Port Kaituma on Saturday and capsized off the Essequibo coast. Its manifest listed 133 people, but authorities now believe as many as 179 were aboard when it sank.

Passengers allege the ferry was dangerously overloaded with people and heavy cargo including engines, vehicles, fuel containers and commercial goods. One survivor said the boat was more crowded than previous trips, with cargo packed tightly below deck.

Official response and investigation

Survivors allege engine trouble after departure was repaired at sea and water concerns were dismissed as routine. Officials say the ferry was under capacity limits. The Maritime head said a full investigation is needed into loading and supervision.

Prime Minister Mark Phillips said the government has nothing to hide and pledged legal consequences for those responsible. Police detained the rescued captain and another crew member; both tested positive for marijuana. A replacement ferry awaits a pier at Port Kaituma.

Families in mourning

Families have gathered in Charity in northern Guyana waiting for news of unaccounted loved ones. Samantha Ramin lost two of three children; her daughter's body was found but her baby boy is missing.

Samantha Ramin said, "I know my baby is in that boat." She also stated, "I know he is down there. I know he is down there. I want to see them find my baby." The MV Barima had repairs in 2024 with more scheduled October.
