The chances of finding survivors are dwindling.
A boat with 20 people on board has disappeared between the Bahamas and Florida.
Above all, the US Coast Guard announced that it had interrupted their search on Friday after three days of unsuccessful efforts.
On the way to the United States
The ship, which left the Bimini Islands on Monday, was due to sail to Lake Worth, in the United States, about 130 kilometers away.
On Tuesday, the coast guard was alerted that he had not arrived safely, according to a statement.
For more than three days, they carried out air and sea searches with teams from the two countries on approximately 44,000 km2 but suspended them on Friday at noon, they explain.
"Our hearts and prayers are with the families of the missing," said Captain Stephen Burdian, who called on anyone with information to contact the Coast Guard.
