Search over for crewman lost at sea northeast of Hilo
Coast Guard crews help in the fruitless effort to find a worker last seen on Friday
A roommate on the Holland America cruise ship Amsterdam last saw the man about 1 a.m. Friday. After searching the 780-foot vessel, which was on its way to San Diego from the Big Island, crew members called the Coast Guard at about 3 p.m.
Coast Guard spokeswoman Petty Officer Brooksann Epiceno said the cruise ship was instructed to turn back and start looking for the missing man. An oil tanker in the area also helped in the search.
About 6 a.m. yesterday, a Coast Guard C-130 based at Barbers Point got to the scene and was able to search for about three hours before having to turn back and re-fuel. A second C-130 arrived about 1:30 p.m. and the search was called off about two hours later, after officials weighed the chances of finding the victim alive.
According to reports the search covered 1000 miles. They also stated that an individual could remain alive about 7 hours in the 66 degree temperature water.
On the night he went missing, there were 10-foot seas and winds up to 26 mph. His life jacket was found in his cabin.
A Holland America statement on the search did not give details on the man or how he may have fallen overboard.
Search At Sea Suspended
“The Coast Guard was notified at 3 p.m. on Friday that the cruise ship Amsterdam was missing a crewmember,” said U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Brooksann Epiceno. “And that was about 1100 miles east of Hilo and on the Big Island.”
The vessel had just finished a tour of Hawai’i and was bound for Mexico and San Diego, California.
The lost crewman stopped the voyage cold.
So, late in the day the search was suspended and the man remained lost at sea.
The ship is operated by Holland America Line.
The company released a statement that said the safety and security of guests and crew is a top priority.
Officials also offered prayers to the victim and to his family.
