Canadian authorities completed search and rescue efforts for 12 missing people from the Spanish fishing vessel Villa de Pitanxo, which sank on Tuesday morning in Newfoundland’s Great Shore waters, writes eprimefeed.com.

“The Canadian authorities’ decision comes when the chances of finding any of the 12 missing alive are zero, Efe gathers.

In fact, the Canadian authorities extended the search and rescue effort beyond the time indicated in the survival tables in the conditions existing in the waters of the Big Bank of Newfoundland and indicating that after 24 hours there is no real chance of finding the fishermen alive.

The three survivors are the ship’s captain, Juan Padin; his nephew, Eduardo Real; and a sailor from Ghana

The end of search and rescue notification comes shortly after the Marine Rescue Service corrected Tuesday night’s information on the death toll from the Galicia shipwreck in Canada. According to the latest data from the search engines, nine sailors were killed, 12 were missing.
