Written by on 16 February 2022
The search for 12 missing fishermen who were on board a Spanish fishing vessel off of the coast of Canada has been suspended due to bad weather.
Nine people are confirmed to have died when the Villa de Pitanxo capsised off of the Newfoundland coast on Tuesday.
Eight Spanish and Portuguese ships have joined the Canadian rescue vessels in the search for the missing crew members.
Sub zero temperatures and waves in excess of 10 metres have been recorded in the area, hampering the search efforts.
