Search for Missing Royal Caribbean Passenger Called Off

Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas

The United States Coast Guard has suspended search efforts for a missing 35-year-old man who fell into the water from a Royal Caribbean’s cruise ship during a cruise 80 nautical miles northeast of Mayaguana, Bahamas, Saturday.

At approximately 1 a.m. on Friday, the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas cruise ship reported a missing 35-year-old male after he fell into the water during a cruise.

The cruise ship launched two small boats to begin searching for the male who was last seen wearing a pink shirt and white shorts.

Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules airplane and MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrews from Air Station Clearwater, Florida, searched an area covering 931 square nautical miles.

“We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones and all that have been affected by this tragedy,” said Capt. Todd Coggeshall, Coast Guard 7th District chief of response management.

Based on the latest vessel tracking data, the 2009-built cruise ship is underway to Labadee, a port located on the northern coast of Haiti. It is a private resort leased to Royal Caribbean International.

Singapore Maritime Week 2016

Singapore Maritime Week (SMW) is the leading maritime event in Singapore. Driven by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), SMW gathers the international maritime community in Singapore for a week of conferences, dialogues, exhibitions and social events in celebration of all things maritime. The range of activities and events organised by MPA, the industry and research and educational institutions, as well as the cosmopolitan profile of participants, reflect the vibrancy and diversity of Singapore as a major international maritime centre.

SMW has grown in size and significance since the inaugural event in 2006, and is attracting more participants and event organisers from around the world. Participants can experience something new every year. As activities are added to the line-up, and as eminent speakers share their insights and participate in dialogues on topical maritime issues. This dynamism and the good range of issues discussed during SMW are major for maritime decision-makers, as are the many business networking platforms.

This is why Singapore Maritime Week is all about People, Ideas and Opportunities for the maritime community.

Celebrate all things maritime!

Singapore Maritime Week 2016, 17-22 April
