当地时间周三，官方表示，针对一艘在台风期间于北马里亚纳群岛附近倾覆的美籍货轮的5名失踪船员的搜救工作已经暂停。
这艘名为“马里亚纳号”的145英尺长货轮上原本共有6名船员。4月21日，潜水员从倾覆的船体内打捞起一名船员的遗体。
美国海岸警卫队大洋洲分区指挥官普雷斯顿·希布在X平台发布的视频中表示：“我们深感悲痛地宣布，尽管付出了广泛的努力，我们不得不做出艰难决定，暂停对‘马里亚纳号’失踪船员的搜救。我们向‘马里亚纳号’船员家属以及整个塞班社区致以诚挚的哀悼。”
他表示，此次搜救行动持续了100多个小时，覆盖区域面积超过加利福尼亚州。
上周，官方公布了美国空军和海岸警卫队队员搜救失踪船员的震撼视频和照片。画面显示伞降救援人员正在准备潜水作业，搜救团队还使用了远程操控水下无人机对船内进行搜索。

在船员向海岸警卫队报告船艇右舷发动机失灵、在超强台风辛拉库袭击太平洋岛链之际需要救援的两周后，搜救行动被叫停。次日，海岸警卫队与该船失去联系。
强风最初阻碍了搜救工作，但最终于4月18日在北马里亚纳群岛之一的帕甘岛东北约40英里处发现了倾覆的船艇。北马里亚纳群岛是美国领土。
海岸警卫队表示，在距离船艇约110英里的海域发现了包括部分沉没的充气救生筏在内的残骸。
“其余五名船员仍处于失踪状态，”希布说道。

超强台风辛拉库袭击北马里亚纳群岛，造成风灾和洪涝灾害。据美国国家气象局消息，辛拉库袭击塞班岛和天宁岛时的持续风速达到每小时150英里。哥伦比亚广播公司气象学家尼基·诺兰表示，这是2026年迄今形成的最强风暴。

The search has been suspended for five missing crew members of a U.S.-flagged cargo ship that overturned near the Northern Mariana Islands during a typhoon, authorities said Wednesday.
Six people were aboard the 145-foot ship, called the Mariana. Divers on April 21 recovered one crew member’s body from the overturned ship.
“We are deeply saddened to announce that despite widespread efforts, we have made the difficult decision to suspend our search for the missing crew members of the Mariana,” Cmdr. Preston Hieb of the U.S. Coast Guard Oceania District said in a video posted on X. “We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families of the Mariana crew, as well as the entire Saipan community.”
The search lasted more than 100 hours and covered an area larger than the state of California, he said.
Last week, officials released dramatic video and photos showing members of the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard searching for the missing crew. The footage and images showed pararescuemen preparing to conduct dive operations. The teams also used a remotely operated underwater drone to search the interior of the ship.

The search was stopped two weeks after the crew notified the Coast Guard that the ship had lost its starboard engines and needed assistance as Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Pacific island chain. The Coast Guard lost contact with the vessel the next day.
Heavy wind hindered initial search efforts, but the overturned ship was eventually spotted April 18 about 40 miles northeast of Pagan, one of the islands that make up the Northern Marianas, which is a U.S. territory.
The Coast Guard said debris included a partially submerged inflatable life raft was spotted about 110 miles from the ship.
“The five remaining crew members are still missing,” Hieb said.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Northern Mariana Islands, causing wind damage and flooding. Sinlaku had sustained winds up of to 150 miles per hour when it battered Saipan and Tinian, according to the National Weather Service. CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan said it was the strongest storm to develop in 2026.
