ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Coast Guard is searching for a Filipino crewman missing from a cargo ship north of Dutch Harbor.

An urgent marine information broadcast also was issued encouraging vessels in the area to keep a look out for the man. The fishing vessel Andronica from Dutch Harbor is helping in the search.
