The REBECCA IRENE reported that a crewman has fallen overboard and is missing in the Bering Sea. The accident happened on July 3rd about 24 miles southeast of Umnak Island. The REBECCA IRENE is a 140-foot trawler owned by Rebecca Irene Fisheries, a Seattle-based fishing company. The search for the 38-year-old missing crewman, Nhial Opiew, was suspended by the Coast Guard on Sunday. Search efforts were reportedly hindered by low visibility. The details of the accident are unknown at this time and will probably be the subject of a Coast Guard Casualty Investigation
