The U.S. Coast Guard is currently conducting a search for a crew member who reportedly fell from a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean northwest of Puerto Rico. The incident occurred on Tuesday night aboard the MSC Seascape, and the missing individual is identified as a 30-year-old man of Indian nationality. The Coast Guard was alerted after someone witnessed the man tumbling over 30 feet into the water.
The MSC Seascape was en route from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic when the incident took place. In response, the cruise ship immediately deployed a lifeline, three life rings, and a rescue boat to aid in the search and rescue efforts. Despite ongoing search operations, the crew member has not been located yet, and the cruise ship has resumed its journey.
MSC Cruises, the operator of the MSC Seascape, has not yet provided a comment on the incident. The Coast Guard continues its search, hoping to locate the missing crew member as soon as possible.
The circumstances surrounding the fall remain unclear, and authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine what led to the incident. Updates on the search and any developments will be provided as information becomes available.
