Search for missing master suspended

On Jan 1, 2015, the Coast Guard suspended the search Thursday for the master of the "Toscana" reported overboard approximately 60 miles east of Wake Island after having exhausted all available resources. The Coast Guard conducted an extensive search of the area, flying three sorties and covering approximately 2,000 square miles since DEc 28, 2014. Involved in the search were two HC-130 Hercules airplane crews from Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point along with the "Toscana". Watchstanders at the Coast Guard Joint Rescue Coordination Center were notified at approximately 6 p.m. on Dec 27, regarding the 49-year-old male Polish national who was reported overboard. He was last seen at approximately 8 p.m. on Dec 26. Twelve hours passed before the crew realized the master was missing. An HC-130 Hercules airplane crew from Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point was launched Dec 27 and staged out of Wake Island to conduct the searches. The ship retraced its route to search for the missing crewmember, but continued on to its next port of call in Yokohama, Japan due to fuel limitations. Weather conditions on scene were winds of approximately 15 mph, seas of eight feet and a water temperature of approximately 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
