The rescue workers have almost no hope that the captain is still in life.

Hi Bob,

I use Firefox and can see the photos. There are only old photos from the site.
I will post a new video this evening with some footage of the already capesized tug on the Nieuwe Waterweg and in the Waalhaven, where she was towed to last night. Tomorrow they will turn her back to her upright position.
Cheers Fred

I heard from locals at the Waalhaven,
That in the night from friday/saturday divers went into the Fairplay,
And nothing found.
The divers did not enter the machineroom they say a little change that the captain is not in there.
They say also that the Fairplay 22 needs to be monday in the drydock and they gonna fix her again.
