The Coast Guard has been searching for survivors after the Seacor Power capsized April 13. Six were rescued the day of the incident, and five bodies have been recovered in the days since. There are currently eight people missing.
The Coast Guard will suspend search and rescue operations for the remaining Seacor Power crew at sunset tonight, sector commander Capt. Will Watson said Monday afternoon.
The Seacor Power lift boat capsized eight miles south of Port Fourchon on April 13 with a crew of 19 people. The commercial vessel encountered hurricane-force winds and turbulent seas while en route to an oil rig near the mouth of the Mississippi River.
