Coast Guard Searches for Cargo Vessel "Kadam" After EPIRB Activation
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Atlantic Area is searching for the cargo vessel "Kadam" after an Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) was activated on March 2nd, 2024, at 2:00 am UTC.The message, received through the Inmarsat system, indicated the EPIRB activation originated from coordinates 28.0N,60.0E . However, these coordinates are probably incorrect. The map shows a probable location based on its route.
The "Kadam" is a bulk carrier registered in Liberia. The vessel is 229 meters long and has a deadweight tonnage of 74,500. It was last reported sailing from NOVOROSSIYSK Port on 2024-02-09 05:05, en route to Altamira, Mexico (ETA 2024-03-08).The USCG is requesting any mariners in the area to keep a sharp lookout for the "Kadam" and report any sightings to the USCG Atlantic Area Command Center.
The USCG is also working with international partners to coordinate the search effort.
