Missing is a 59-year-old man, approximately 5 feet, 7 inches tall, wearing light-colored pants and a dark short-sleeved shirt. 

Joint Rescue Coordination Center Honolulu watchstanders received a report from the Korea Mission Coordination Center at 5 p.m. Sunday that a crewman aboard the Republic of Korea-flagged fishing vessel Oryong 355 fell overboard at 12:15 p.m. Sunday, approximately 1,200 miles southeast of the Big Island.  

Watchstanders issued a SafetyNET broadcast to all ships in the vicinity of the Oryong 355 and coordinated the launch of a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon airplane crew from Navy Command Task Force-32 on Marine Corps Base Hawaii to search for the missing man.  

The crew of the Maersk Yellowstone, a Singapore-flagged cargo ship, diverted their course to aid in the search.
