Search for missing crewman suspended

The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a 26-year-old Burmese man who reportedly fell from a container ship south of Adak Island into 20-foot (6-meter) seas.

The Coast Guard says it suspended its aerial search shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday. No signs of the man were found.

The Coast Guard was notified Tuesday night that one of the crew was missing.

The container ship also issued a call for help from any vessels in the area.

The 792-foot (241-meter) Cap Gilbert is a Liberia-flagged vessel sailing from Ningbo, China, to Manzino, Mexico. The crew member is from Myanmar, also called Burma.
