The Holyhead Coastguard Operations Centre received a report at 9 p.m. on Monday, October 5, of a missing crew member from a ferry sailing from Dublin to Holyhead. The British coast guard launched a wide-scale search involving Porthdynllaen RNLI lifeboat, Holyhead RNLI all-weather lifeboat, and inshore lifeboat, Moelfre RNLI lifeboat, HM Coastguard's fixed-wing aircraft, and the rescue helicopter from the Irish Coastguard as well as North Wales Police for port and vessel searches.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the crew member was last seen between 3.30 and 4 pm on Monday, October 5, and was determined to be missing during the voyage to Holyhead.<\/p>\n
HM Coastguard coordinated a wide-scale air and sea search overnight covering over 1,000 square nautical miles with nothing found. HM Coastguard's fixed-wing aircraft and the Coastguard Rescue helicopter from Caernarfon were scheduled to make a further overflight of the search area based on the latest calculated search area on Tuesday, October 6th.<\/p>\n
The search continued into the afternoon, but at 4:45 pm, HM Coastguard reported that the search had been concluded.
