Emergency services including the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter have been searching for a 36-year-old Ukraine man reported missing since 7pm Saturday from the bulk carrier Blue Wave in the ocean off Evans Head.
A search for the crewman, which continued through the day, yesterday included three helicopters and one fixed-wing aircraft. The police boat Fearless from Coffs Harbour also assisted.
The search has resumed again today but there has been no sign of the man and hopes are fading that he will be found alive.
