Search Intensifies for Missing Crew After Cargo Ship Overturns Near Northern Marianas
Search efforts are underway for six crew members from the cargo ship Mariana, which overturned near the Northern Mariana Islands during Typhoon Sinlaku. The U.S. Coast Guard, along with agencies from Guam, Japan, and New Zealand, are involved in the search, covering over 99,000 square miles. The ship, a 145-foot dry cargo vessel registered in the U.S., suffered engine failure as the typhoon approached, leading to a loss of communication. Debris, including a partially submerged life raft, has been found, but the crew remains missing. The typhoon caused significant damage in the region, delaying response efforts.
