Search area widened

The search area for the three crew members who were missing since the sinking of the "Senefand 1" off the coast of Senegal has expanded. The maritime and air assets - both Spanish and Senegalese - participating in the search operation, which have been joined by several fishing vessels and merchant ships, were now tracking a strip located further north than first was supposed as the place where the shipwreck occurred. The location of the vessel, where the skipper, José Vicente Pazos, and the two Senegalese crewmen could have been trapped, did not seem an easy task, since at the time of the accident the radiobeacon was not activated.
