A search for an oil tanker crewmember who went overboard in the Gulf of Mexico was being conducted by the Coast Guard.
Feng Li, 31, was reported missing Thursday from the 750-foot New Confidence approximately 150 miles from Grand Isle, La.
Coast Guard Sector Houston heard a man overboard VHF call at 10:10 a.m. stating that the crewmember was wearing only casual clothing with no life jacket.
The search area was described as “the size of Rhode Island,” said Lt. Christina Lowe, command duty officer for the Eighth District command center.
Assets deployed included aircraft from Coast Guard stations in Mobile, Corpus Christi and Clearwater, Fl as well as an 87-foot cutter from Sabine Pass, Texas.
