An oceanographic vessel equipped with a multibeam echosounder system and an underwater robot heads towards Tenerife, where he could arrive at the end of the week to join the search for Anna y Olivia, the girls disappeared with their father since April 27.

It is the Ángeles Alvariño, from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, which has been assigned to the Civil GuardAs the director of the armed institute, María Gámez, advanced last week, pending then the pertinent authorization of the court that instructs the case as an alleged crime of kidnapping.

On board this vessel, which left the port of Vigo this Sunday and that currently sails parallel to the Portuguese coast, the underwater robot Liropus travels.

It is an unmanned robot capable of maneuvering up to 2,000 meters deep, and that was used for the observation of the Tagoro submarine volcano, in front of La Restinga (El Hierro).
