CG search for overboard crewman

NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard is searching for a 31-year-old Vietnamese crewman overboard from the bulk carrier vessel Shandong Fu Xin on April 28 about 97 miles SE of the Southwest Pass channel in Louisiana. The Coast Guard received a radio call at 6:35 p.m. on VHF-FM channel 16 from the vessel stating the crewman failed to show for watch. The crew was unable to find the man aboard. The CG issued an urgent marine information broadcast and launched a CG Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin helicopter, a CG Air Training Center Mobile, Ala., HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane, and a CG Station Venice, La., response boat crew.
