The Coast Guard has suspended a search for an Australian cruise ship passenger who went overboard near Hawaii this week.
"After reviewing all relevant information of the case and discussing it with the next of kin, the Coast Guard has made the difficult decision to suspend the active search for the passenger aboard the Quantum of the Seas," said Kevin Cooper, a search and rescue mission coordinator for the Joint Rescue Coordination Center Honolulu.
The Quantum of the Seas cruise ship is docked at the Marina Bay Cruise Center Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020 in Singapore. A passenger on the ship went overboard this week and a Coast Guard search has been suspended. The search for the missing passenger was being conducted 500 miles south of Kailua Kona, Big Island, the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard received a report about a person missing from the ship around 11:03 p.m. Tuesday. The crew remained at the scene to search for the person for two hours before resuming the cruise. On Wednesday morning, an aircrew from a C-130 Hercules airplane completed five searches over six hours.
