Search for four missing crew continues after Aqua Amazon blast
Peruvian officials are still searching for four of the 17 crew members of Aqua Amazon that sank after an explosion in the port of Enapu, Iquitos, on Saturday.

Aqua Expeditions’ luxury boutique ship was being loaded with fuel and supplies ahead of its next cruise when the explosion occurred. 

The missing crew are feared to have been trapped in the sunken ship.

Francesco Galli Zugaro, founder and ceo of Aqua Expeditions, has reportedly flown from London to Peru to assess the damage and help the crew.
