Survivors and former crewmembers of the lost tug Bourbon Rhode have told investigators that the vessel was not in fit condition prior to her final voyage, according to her flag state of Luxembourg.

"All three survivors said they were surprised by the poor condition. One survivor stated that a senior member of the engine crew was concerned that the technical condition of the ship would not allow it to cross the Atlantic."
