Boat sunk and four still missing at sea

The RSIPF is reminding the general public, particularly people living in the Provinces to reconsider any sea travel during bad weather.

Travel across the ocean even on a short trip can be dangerous or risky. If you are considering ocean travel during bad weather you should monitor weather warnings provided through the SIBC news and the Metrological office.

This is an appeal to all boat users and people who use sea transport as their means of movement. Whilst this is the only mean of travel in some Provinces, people should always remember that we cannot control the weather.
