Posted by: Joseph S. Stacey

Two crewmembers aboard the freighter Maratha Messenger fell overboard at around 3:30 am yesterday. The two crewmembers were trying to raise an accommodation ladder when they fell overboard in the lower Mississippi River. They were not wearing life jackets.
The Coast Guard Stations New Orleans and Venice are cooperating on this search and rescue mission, and have deployed two 41-foot utility boats and a Dolphin rescue helicopter. Our thoughts and hopes are with the crewmembers, and we will keep you updated as the search progresses.
