The bodies of two more crew have been recovered following the sinking of a Bourbon anchor-handler in the eastern Atlantic.
The shipowner said it was mourning their deaths after the seafarers' remains were found last night and brought on board the French navy Ventose.
The Luxembourg-flagged AHTS Bourbon Rhode (built 2006) ran into trouble on Thursday.
The ship had been lashed by the category four hurricane Lorenzo in the Caribbean and was initially reported to be taking on water, but later sank.
The first death of a seafarer from the ship was confirmed on Monday.
Another eight of its 14 crew remain missing, while three were rescued.
Bourbon said on Tuesday that the search operations carried out by French authorities with the support of the US had "further intensified" in recent days.
Since the beginning of the operations on 26 September, 10 commercial vessels have been mobilised in the area.
Daily over-flights are performed by a French Falcon 50, supported by a C 130 Hercules aircraft from the US Coast Guard.
"On behalf of all Bourbon employees, I would like to pay tribute to the deceased sailors," said Bourbon CEO Gael Bodenes.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones who are grieving over this dramatic event. We stand in full solidarity with them in this ordeal and assure them of our strongest support."
