Efforts are ongoing in the marina area of Afurada to locate a missing French national, as confirmed by Rui Lampreia, the commander of the Douro Harbor. The search operation involves resources from the Maritime Police, the Douro Lifesaving Station, and Vila Nova de Gaia’s Sapadores Firefighters, equipped with diving teams.
Searches are concentrated in the marina as it is believed that the man’s body may be located there, the commander noted.
The alert was raised by the man’s wife, who witnessed him in the water for the last time. Both are French citizens.
The couple had arrived in the Douro estuary region as part of a sailing trip.
