As rescue operations continue for four trapped underwater welders following an incident at sea on Friday, their families are waiting with bated breath on word of their loved ones.

Gathered near the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery since early this morning, the families are praying for a miracle.

The missing men, who are employed with LMCS Ltd, are Kazim Ali Jnr, the managing director; Rishi Nagessar, 48; Fyzal Kurban 57; and Yusuf Henry,32. A fifth man, Christopher Boodram, was rescued.

The incident occurred around 3 pm on Friday, just off the Pointe a Pierre jetty.

In a release last night, Paria Fuel Trading Company Ltd stated that the five underwater welders of LMCS LTd were conducting an underwater maintenance exercise at the No 36 Sealine Riser on Berth #6 at Paria Trading Company Limited, Pointe a Pierre.

During the exercise, an incident occurred which resulted in the loss of sight of the five men who were being monitored from shore.

However, the company stated that incident management protocols at Paria were immediately triggered, in accordance with established standards.

One of the men was found and taken to the San Fernando Hospital. Kurban’s sister-in-law, Trisha Ramoutar, claimed that no immediate emergency rescue operations were activated.

She said Kurban’s son, who also is a professional diver, got there about a half an hour after the incident and no rescue operations were being undertaken.

She was told that other relatives who are also drivers were not given the clearance by Paria to search for them.

“Against instructions my nephew (Michael) and them gears up and went into the pipe and this is how they save Christopher Boodram. They took them out. When Christopher came out, Michael Kurban took him out, he started to shout and say ‘Go back for Fyzie! Go back for Fyzie! He right behind us!’ Fyzie is my brother-in-law.”

Boodram reported that the men were sharing air tanks.

“Christopher and Fyzie decided to swim out because the rest could not make it.  They were injured… I’m not sure. They swam out… Christopher swear Fyzie was behind him.”

Reports are that Kurban’s son Michael then went back into the water and found his father’s tank, but he could not go any further.

Ramoutar said Michael told them he heard a knocking on the pipe or a sound.

“He not sure because remember this is through a pipe,” she explained.

She said other attempts were made, but they were unsuccessful. She is not sure what is happening at this time. 

The Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard is assisting in the search.

This is an absolutely tragic MESS.

But you know that nothing will come from this.

Paria will say that they were not employees of the company and that will be the end of that.

I saw BP do that already.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE SAYS ROGET: President General of the Oilfield Workers Trade Union (OWTU) Ancel Roget tonight condemned the response of Paria Fuel Trading Company Ltd to the tragedy involving four underwater welders sucked into a crude oil pipeline in the waters off the company's Pointe-a-Pierre facility on Friday. Up to 9p.m. tonight, the men had yet to be found. Express chief photographer Dexter Philip captured this footage of Roget at Pointe-a-Pierre.

Such a sad way to go. One can just imagine the fright and pain these divers went through. It will be a miracle if any survive but those in the industry knows that they are long gone by now. LOTO process must have been violated. Sadly what transpired to reach this tragedy will not unfold considering is PARIA, but a lot can be learned from this incident if we do get the information.
I really hope their families get justice and a payout.

Any update on this?

Also, did I hear talk (from the sister of one of the divers) about them finding an air pocket?

So, what could cause this. A valve was opened causing the suction? Who controls the valve? Paria employees in a control room?
