Aggressive and coordinated actions by the various stakeholders have led to the positive identification of the location of the MV Barima.
The potential location was identified at 13:31 hrs today by fisherman Haresh Singh, who had earlier assisted in rescue efforts yesterday.
Support from local fisherfolk, along with the privately owned vessel, Gilligan Island, has been of great assistance in confirming the location of the vessel.
Full recovery mode is being pursued.
The French Government has provided support in the form of 15 divers, who have since joined the local team of divers at the site.
Bodies recovered will be taken to Charity for processing by health and police authorities.
Relatives will be invited to identify the bodies at the Suddie Hospital.
