US Coast Guard Recovers Body from Capsized Cargo Ship Amid Ongoing Search Efforts
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has intensified its search efforts following the capsizing of the U.S.-flagged cargo ship Mariana, which was overtaken by Super Typhoon Sinlaku near the Northern Mariana Islands. The body of one seafarer has been recovered, while five other crew members remain missing. The vessel, which lost contact with the USCG on April 16, was located northeast of its last known position. Strong currents have pushed the wreck further northeast. USCG divers, using drones, have surveyed the vessel's interior, but no additional crew members have been found. The search continues for a missing 12-person life raft, with one partially inflated raft found 95 nautical miles from the wreck.
