Recovery of capsized boat deferred to Monday

Recovery efforts of the pilot delivery boat sunk in the Gulf of Finland will be moved to a later date, reported the local media on Sunday.

The Accident Investigation Authority on Sunday indicated that the boat would be lifted ashore on Monday.

Accident Investigation Authority Director Veli-Pekka Nurmi said the waves and equipment were the reasons why the recovery work had to be postponed.

Two people died when the boat capsized on Friday near Emäsalo. The cause of the accident is still unknown.
