According to Kaieteur News, police are conducting an investigation into a boat incident that took place on Friday, October 30, 2026, between 09:30hrs and 10:00hrs, situated about 1,000 metres southwest of the Parika Stelling.

The vessel was being operated by a 52-year-old man from Bartica and was traveling from the Bartica Stelling toward Parika, carrying 30 individuals, which included the bowman.

Initial reports indicated that when the vessel neared Parika, it encountered rough waters that reportedly resulted in damage to the bow and allowed water to enter the boat. The captain later managed to guide the vessel to a safe location by bringing it ashore along the eastern riverbank.

Police personnel visited the site and conducted inquiries with the captain, the bowman, and the passengers. Kaieteur News stated that no injuries or casualties were reported in connection with the incident, and investigations remain ongoing.
