美国海岸警卫队在一份新闻稿中表示,已找到在北马里亚纳群岛附近海域遭遇台风翻船的美国籍货船6名失踪船员中的1具遗体。

美国空军潜水员“使用水下遥控无人机对船体内部进行了搜索”,并于周二打捞起了遗体。

另有日本海岸警卫队的潜水员对该船进行了进一步检查,但未发现更多船员,美国海岸警卫队称。

新闻稿称:“海岸警卫队空勤人员仍在北马里亚纳群岛联邦附近海域搜救其余5名失踪船员和一艘橙色12人充气救生筏。”

海岸警卫队本周表示,该部门及来自关岛、日本和新西兰的合作机构已完成超过9.9万平方英里的搜救区域覆盖。

这艘名为“马里亚纳号”的货船船员于4月15日通知美国海岸警卫队,这艘145英尺长的美国注册船舶在超强台风“辛拉库”期间右舷发动机失灵,需要救援。海岸警卫队称次日与该船失去联系。

“我们与‘马里亚纳号’船员家属以及这场悲剧事件中受影响的社区同在,”海岸警卫队大洋洲区搜救任务协调员普雷斯顿·希布指挥官在一份声明中表示。“我们仍在与合作伙伴密切协调开展搜救,动用所有可用资源支持持续的应急响应。”

强风阻碍了初期搜救工作,但搜救人员最终于周六在帕甘岛东北约40英里处发现了翻倒的货船——帕甘岛是组成北马里亚纳群岛的岛屿之一,该群岛属于美国领土。该船从最初被发现的位置向东北方向漂移了26海里。

美国海岸警卫队周一表示,在距离该船约110英里的海域发现了包括部分淹没的充气救生筏在内的残骸。

超强台风“辛拉库”袭击北马里亚纳群岛,造成风灾和洪水。

据美国国家气象局消息,台风袭击提尼安岛和塞班岛时,持续风速高达150英里/小时,相当于强四级飓风。

哥伦比亚广播公司气象学家尼基·诺兰称,在登陆前,该台风的最大持续风速稳定在175英里/小时,成为2026年迄今最强风暴,仅次于分别达到149英里/小时和147英里/小时峰值的台风“纳雷尔”和“杜兹艾”。

1 of 6 missing crew members found dead after typhoon overturned U.S.-flagged ship in Pacific

Authorities have found the body of one of the six missing crew members from a U.S.-flagged cargo ship that overturned near the Northern Mariana Islands during a typhoon.

U.S. Air Force divers “used an underwater remotely operated drone to search the interior of the vessel” and recovered the body Tuesday, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release.

Additional divers from the Japan Coast Guard further examined the ship. They did not find any additional crew members, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

“Coast Guard aircrews continue to search for the five missing crewmen and an orange 12-person life raft in the vicinity of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,” the news release said.

The guard and partnering agencies from Guam, Japan and New Zealand have covered more than 99,000 square miles, the guard said this week.

The crew of the ship, called the Mariana, notified the U.S. Coast Guard on April 15 that the 145-foot U.S.-registered vessel lost its starboard engine during Super Typhoon Sinlaku and needed assistance. The guard said it lost contact with the ship the next day.

“Our hearts are with the families of the Mariana crew members and the communities impacted by this tragic incident,” Cmdr. Preston Hieb, search and rescue mission coordinator, Coast Guard Oceania District, said in a statement. “We continue to search in close coordination with our partners, using all available resources to support the ongoing response.”

Heavy wind hindered initial search efforts, but the overturned ship was eventually spotted Saturday about 40 miles northeast of Pagan, one of the islands that make up the Northern Marianas, which is a U.S. territory. The ship had drifted 26 nautical miles northeast from where it was first located.

The U.S. Coast Guard said Monday that debris including a partially submerged inflatable life raft was spotted about 110 miles from the ship.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Northern Mariana Islands, causing wind damage and flooding.

The typhoon had sustained winds of up to 150 mph, equating to a strong Category 4, when it hit the islands of Tinian and Saipan, according to the National Weather Service.

Before making landfall, the typhoon’s maximum sustained winds stabilized at 175 mph, making it the strongest storm to develop in 2026, behind typhoons Narelle and Dudzai, which respectively peaked at 149 and 147 mph, said CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan.

Cleanup crews were seen clearing debris in blustery conditions on Saipan in a social media video posted by the mayor’s office.
