Canada announced on Tuesday that it had already deployed more boats to try to locate the missing submarine in North Atlantic waters with a group of five tourists who wanted to see the remains of the Titanic.

Canadian Fisheries, Oceans and Coast Guard Minister Joyce Murray said Tuesday that the Canadian Coast Guard vessel Kopit Hopson 1752 is en route to the point in the ocean where the submersible, identified as “Titan” by the media, went missing.

Murray added that two other ships returned to the port of San Juan in Newfoundland (Canada) to load equipment and participate in rescue efforts.

The Minister also indicated that the arrival of material from the United Kingdom and Germany is expected.

Murray declined to say whether any Canadian maritime stations received signals from the ship.

“I don’t want to give details. Because it’s a very emotional question,” the Canadian minister said when asked by the media.

In addition to navigation, Canada has deployed a military Lockheed CP-140 Aurora maritime surveillance aircraft capable of detecting submarines.

The ADSBexchange web portal, which tracks planes, shows the plane departed Tuesday morning from its base in the province of Nova Scotia to the area where “Titan” was operating.

Murray explained that the urgency was to find the submarine and bring it up “in time to save those on board”.

The submersible, owned by OceanGate Expeditions, left San Juan, Newfoundland on Friday towed by the mother ship “Polar Prince” and began its descent to the wreck of the Titanic on Sunday morning with five people on board.

The submersible did not return to the surface on Sunday evening as expected, triggering the alarm.

“Titan” can provide oxygen to its occupants for 96 hours.

The remains of the Titanic, which sank after colliding with an iceberg in 1912, lie at a depth of about 3,800 meters and a distance of about 640 kilometers south of the Canadian island of Newfoundland.
