Coast Guard Spots Overturned Vessel Near Where Ship, 6 Crew Members Went Missing
Search crews found an overturned vessel matching the Mariana, a 145-foot cargo ship that lost contact with six people aboard, the Coast Guard said.
- On Saturday, a Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point HC-130 Hercules crew sighted an overturned vessel matching the description of the missing 145-foot cargo ship Mariana about 34 nautical miles northeast of Pagan.
- The Mariana reported its starboard engine failed on Wednesday as Typhoon Sinlaku brought fierce winds and rain to the region, prompting the Coast Guard to lose contact with the six crew members on Thursday.
- A U.S. Navy Boeing P-8A Poseidon crew, a Coast Guard cutter, and a Japan Coast Guard aircrew are assisting search efforts after an earlier HC-130 flight returned to Guam due to heavy winds.
- Coast Guard officials in Honolulu are gathering information to confirm whether the overturned ship is the Mariana, while the agency has not yet determined the nationalities of the six missing crew members.
- Anyone with information regarding the vessel should contact the Coast Guard on VHF-FM channel 16 or call the Joint Rescue Coordination Center Honolulu at 1-800-331-6176 to assist search efforts.
