TWO bodies recovered from the wreck of a sunken trawler following a collision with a freight ship have been brought ashore.

Ports of Jersey said the search will still continue.

The three fishermen on board L’Ecume II – Michael Michieli, Larry Simyunn and Jervis Baligat – died after the 18-metre fishing boat collided with Condor’s Commodore Goodwill off Jersey’s west coast last Thursday.

A spokesperson from Ports of Jersey said: ‘The two bodies recovered from L’Ecume II will be brought to shore later tonight.

‘The Freja will then return to site to continue the search.

‘Digital evidence, including survey video footage and other sonar data, will be examined by specialist teams in the coming days to allow further analysis of the debris field.’
