Sunshine Coast police say there are no suspicious circumstances in the disappearance of a Korean crewman of the "Ocean Caesar", who is believed to have drowned. Water police and Sunshine Coast property squad detectives boarded the fully loaded coal carrier "Ocean Caesar" about 7.30am Apr 11, 2011, after it was ordered to berth at the pilot boarding ground, eight kilometers off the Kawana coast. The master of the Ocean Caesar is believed to have fallen off the bulk carrier about 180 km north-east of Bundaberg about 3 p.m. on Apr 9. Search teams spent more than 36 hours scouring the water. The search was called off after advice it was not possible for the man to have survived. The ship had departed from Hay Point on Mar 13 bound for South Africa with load of coal. Police have ruled out foul play in relation to the disappearance after interviewing the crew of 21 for six hours with the help of translators. The "Ocean Caesar" left the pilot boarding ground about 1.30 p.m. on Apr 11 and resumed its voyage.
