A ship with 20 passengers disappeared between the Bahamas and Florida, said the US Coast Guard, which halted its search Saturday after three days of unsuccessful efforts.
The ship, which left the Bimini Islands on Monday, was bound for Lake Worth, in the United States, at a distance of about 80 miles.
On Tuesday, port authorities were notified that the ship had not reached its destination, according to a press release.
For three days, teams from both countries carried out aerial and maritime surveys in an area of 44,000 square kilometers, but operations were suspended on Saturday.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the missing,” Capt. Steven Bardian said, asking anyone with information to contact authorities.
