In a Media Release on Sunday afternoon (27th February 2022), Paria Fuel Trading Company Limited (Paria) said joint efforts continue to locate four (4) out of five (5) divers employed by LMCS Limited who were involved in an incident on Friday while working on a 30-inch pipeline located at No. 36 Sealine Riser on Berth No. 6 at Paria. The 400m pipeline is on the seabed in sixty (60) feet of water off Pointe-a-Pierre. Paria states that at around 2:30pm on Friday (25th February 2022), the LMCS divers, while in LMCS' hyperbaric chamber (or diving bell), were conducting underwater maintenance on the said pipeline when the onshore monitoring team was alerted to an issue. According to Christopher Boodram, the crew member who managed to make his way back up the pipeline and was pulled out, the divers fell into the pipeline from LMCS’ hyperbaric chamber. Mr. Boodram is currently receiving treatment. Immediately upon learning of the incident, Paria said it initiated its Incident Management Team (IMT) and contacted the Coast Guard, other authorities, and expert divers to begin rescue efforts. The remaining four (4) divers have been identified as: Fyzal Kurban, Rishi Nagassar, Yusuf Henry and Kazim Ali Jr. Given the confined space and the uncertainty of the conditions in the pipeline, Paria said the joint team comprising LMCS, Paria and other partners “are exploring all possible solutions” to locate the remaining four (4) divers. "We have been working closely with Paria Fuel Trading Company Limited (Paria) from the beginning of the incident to reach our divers. The Paria team has been fully supportive throughout this process and continue to provide all their resources to support our efforts, including people, capability and equipment." said Mr. Kazim Ali, Managing Director of LMCS Limited. "In collaboration with the state emergency response services including the Coast Guard and Trinidad & Tobago Fire Services as well as the Paria Incident Management Team (IMT) and various subject matter experts, we are in the final stages of formulating the next attempt," said Paria's Chairman, Mr. Newman George. Paria concluded their third Media Release on this incident by saying, “Throughout this process, all options have been explored with the requisite experts and authorities and Paria remains committed to supporting the efforts.” This is a developing story - refresh this page for updates.
