The Coast Guard is searching for a 26-year-old man who reportedly fell from a container ship south of Adak Island into 20-foot seas.
The Coast Guard says it was notified Tuesday night that one of the crew was missing. The Coast Guard launched a helicopter from Kodiak, but no signs of the man were found. A second helicopter crew was expected to join the search Wednesday.
The container ship also issued a call for help from any vessels in the area.
The 792-foot Cap Gilbert is a Liberia-flagged vessel sailing from Ningbo, China, to Manzin.
