MV Barima Rescue Operation | Guyana News
Description
A passenger ferry, the MV Barima, sent out a distress call late Saturday night en route to Port Kaituma with over 100 people aboard — including Prime Minister Mark Phillips, who’s leading the government’s urgent response. Search and rescue teams from multiple regions, backed by aircraft and medical units, are racing against time off the Pomeroon River coast. Despite safety equipment like life jackets and rafts, the situation remains dire as authorities prioritize getting everyone safely off the vessel and accounted for. Private companies are also mobilized in a massive, coordinated effort to bring this crisis to a secure resolution.
