All missing persons recovered
The Gabonese Navy announced on Nov 1 that the body of the fifth and final person reported missing after the sinking of the 'Prospector 5' has been recovered. Four bodies were recovered inside the submerged wreck between Oct 29 and Oct 31, under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor at the Court of First Instance of Tchibanga. The search operations for the missing persons have thus ended. A judicial inquiry was opened on Oct 25 to determine the circumstances and causes of the accident.
Four bodies recovered, search for missing worker continued
As part of the ongoing search and rescue operations after the sinking of the 'Prospector 5', the body of a fourth individual has been located on Nov 1. All four located bodies have been recovered and were transported to Port Gentil, Gabon. The search efforts continued for the remaining worker who was still unaccounted for. The company Borr Drilling has engaged a globally recognised classification society with extensive experience in offshore and maritime incident investigations to conduct an independent investigation into the incident. The company remained committed to an independent and objective process to determine the root cause and continued to cooperate fully and transparently with the relevant authorities and other parties involved.
Three bodies found in sunken rig
Three bodies have been found in the wreckage of the 'Prospector 5' on Oct 28. Two crew members were still missing. The Gabonese navy had located the bodies using an underwater robot, but has not yet been able to identify them. The images collected did not allow for the identification of the victims. Rescue teams were preparing to recover the bodies now. The Gabonese authorities confirmed the death of one Indian national on Oct 27. His body had not yet been recovered. The other victims were three Gabonese citizens and a Croatian national. The Gabonese authorities were in the process of recovering the bodies. A judicial inquiry was opened on Oct 25 in Tchibanga, alongside the technical investigations aimed at clarifying the circumstances of the sinking of the rig.
