Afcons, the oilfield service provider that operated the barge that sank in the cyclone killing many on Monday night, has said the vessel’s safety lay with Durmast, the company that owns the barge and appoints the Master and other crew.
By Thursday afternoon, 49 of the total 261 crew members of the ill-fated barge P305 were still missing while 26 were confirmed dead. The government has set up an inquiry into the incident while companies have begun to tell their side of the story.
