PORTSMOUTH, Va. – U.S. Coast Guard crews from Portsmouth and Elizabeth City say they are searching for a contractor last seen Saturday working on a vessel at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal.

According to a social media post from Coast Guard Sector Virginia, the Port Authority notified the Coast Guard of Derrick Fluellen’s disappearance around 4 p.m. Saturday.

They said he worked on the offshore supply vessel M/V Atlantic Oceanic at the terminal’s shipyard, but had not been seen for some time. A search of the ship and a call to Fluellen’s family for a health check came up empty.

The Coast Guard says the subsequent search for the missing man included boats in the Elizabeth River, a helicopter, sonar and cell phone data. The search failed and was suspended overnight from Saturday to Sunday.

The resumption is scheduled for Sunday morning. The Port Authority Police Department, Portsmouth Marine Police Department, Norfolk Police Department and Chesapeake Emergency Services are assisting.

Anyone with information that can help find Fluellen is asked to call the Virginia Sector Command Center at 757-638-6637.
