A fishing vessel has sunk in the Argentine province of Río Negro, prompting a large-scale maritime operation in search of a missing crew member. According to authorities, the incident occurred on Wednesday night. The fishing vessel 'Helena Apartio' was en route from the port of San Antonio Oeste to Quequén for dismantling. During the voyage, in the waters of the San Matías Gulf, the vessel began to experience technical problems, leading to its sinking. Four crew members were rescued by another vessel. The rescued crew were disembarked at a port terminal and subsequently transferred to a health center for medical evaluation, where they are reported to be in good general condition. Search operations for the missing engineer are currently underway, involving both maritime and aerial assets.
