LISBON: Portuguese authorities said on Sunday they had recovered the bodies of two Indonesian fishermen who had been missing since their boat sank last week.
They are believed to be among three crew members reported missing after the vessel sank on December 14 in choppy waters, some 100 kilometres north of the city of Porto.
Two other fishermen, including the vessel´s master, were rescued and taken to a hospital.
Many Indonesians work in Portugal´s fishing industry, where demand is high and they can earn more than at home. Portuguese and Spanish aircraft, maritime police, and lifeboat crews had conducted the initial search for the missing workers.
