The Coast Guard said on Monday that the submarine’s operator, OceanGate Expeditions, informed them that the missing vessel can sustain its five occupants for about four days before it runs out of oxygen.
Mauger, First District Commander and leader of the search and rescue mission, said the US was coordinating with Canada on the operation. Multiple US and Canadian ships and airplanes have been deployed to the area in search of the submarine in case it successfully returned from the depths but lacks the means of communication with its partnering surface boat.
The family of world-renowned explorer Hamish Harding confirmed he was among those inside the sub when it disappeared.
