Diez trabajadores están desaparecidos después de que, en previsión a la tormenta tropical “Nate”, desalojaran una plataforma en el Golfo de México, dijo la empresa petrolera estatal Pemex.

Los trabajadores estaban al servicio de la empresa Geokinetics Inc., que tiene sus oficinas centrales en Houston, aseguró Pemex en un comunicado.

Pemex facilitó escasos detalles sobre los trabajadores o la búsqueda emprendida. Nadie respondió a las llamadas efectuadas antes de las horas hábiles en Pemex y Geokinetics.

La petrolera estatal dijo que los trabajadores habían sido desalojados de la plataforma debido a la tormenta tropical.

“Nate” permanecía estática frente a la costa de la Bahía de Campeche, en México, en tanto que la tormenta María se dirigía hacia las Antillas menores en el océano Atlántico.
