The RCMP have received new resources in their search for the five missing fishermen from the Chief Williams Saulis fishing vessel.
They recently received a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) equipped with a Tritech Gemini multi-beam sonar from RCMP in British Columbia.
The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team will be operating the vehicle which uses newer tech than what’s been previously used.
The scallop dragger and most of its crew have been missing since the vessel went down early on the morning of December 15th.
The majority of the search so far has been done via helicopter.
