Thevessel which is lying upside down in 30 metres of water has become so unstablethat the risk to the rescue divers was deemed unacceptably high.
Thebodies of ten crewmen have been recovered from the 53-tbp Jascon 4 (built 2004)with one man still missing and one survivor, the vessel’s cook.
Thevessel which was involved in a tanker tow off Escravos at the time of thecasualty was operated by West African Ventures, a Nigerian company linked tothe Sea Trucks group.
