Australian authorities have ceased search operations for a 41-year-old Indian seafarer who fell overboard from the "Sigma Integrity" on July 27, 2014. The Australian Marine Safety Authority (AMSA) in was alerted to the Indian national Mukesh Lala Fulbaria overboard from the tanker about 107 nautical miles north-west of Carnarvon, in the Australian Search and Rescue Region. AMSA issued a broadcast to ships to which two merchant vessels, the "Venus" and "Vil Atlantic" responded and proceeded to the search area to conduct a surface search. AMSA also tasked the Perth-based AMSA Dornier search aircraft to proceed to the search area and conduct a visual search. Further search was conducted by two Exmouth-based Bristow helicopters tasked by AMSA. The crew of the "Sigma Integrity" continued to search overnight and during the day on July 28. The Dornier plane also conducted two more flights over the search area without making any sightings of the man. AMSA has consulted with medical experts specialising in survivability. The expert medical advice has indicated that even under the best circumstances, there was now no realistic prospect of survival.
