CAPE HATTERAS, N.J. —The Coast Guard is searching for a crewmember of a tanker ship approximately 400 miles east of Cape Hatteras, Wednesday afternoon.

Post by Watch-Standers at the Coast Guard’s Fifth District command center.

Received a report from the Coast Guard's 1st District Command Center - that a man went overboard that had been reported aboard the tanker ship - Hellas Gladiator.

An Air Station Elizabeth City HC-130 Hercules aircraft was launched to search for the missing crewmember, along with two good Samaritan vessels which were notified via Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue messages.

The Hellas Gladiator is headed to the Netherlands, the Virginian-Pilot reported. It sails under the flag of Malta.

No more data available at time of this posting. No mention of the time he went overboard
was given - Let's hope for the best!
