00:38 Search for El Faro Survivors Called Off Meteorologist Ari Sarsalari has the latest on the search for the missing cargo ship, El Faro, that went missing during hurricane Joaquin.

The U.S. Coast Guard says it has found more items of interest in its search for a cargo ship that was reported missing in the middle of Hurricane Joaquin in the southern Bahamas.

According to the Associated Press, a shipping container has been spotted near where El Faro, a 735-foot cargo ship with 33 people aboard, lost power in the middle of the storm. Search crews also found life jackets, additional life rings and an oil sheen , Reuters reported.

On Saturday, the U.S. Coast Guard located a life ring from a cargo ship that has been the subject of an intense search in the southeastern Bahamas since Friday.

Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss says the life ring was found 120 miles northeast of Crooked Island, about 70 miles northeast of the last known position of the El Faro before it lost contact with authorities. Doss says the crew of a C-130 airplane spotted the life ring Saturday and a helicopter crew confirmed it was from the El Faro. It has not been retrieved.

The Coast Guard and U.S. Navy have resumed the search after it was halted overnight because of darkness.

The El Faro was en route to San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it was caught in the Category 4 storm that's battering the Bahamas, the Coast Guard said. There are 28 Americans aboard the ship in addition to five Polish crewmembers , according to USA Today.

The Coast Guard Atlantic Area command center in Portsmouth, Virginia, said it received a satellite notification saying El Faro was overcome by the storm, lost propulsion and had taken on water.

Two Air Force C-130 Hurricane Hunter aircrews made an attempt to re-establish communication with and locate the vessel Thursday and Friday, but they were unsuccessful.

Tim Nolan, president of TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico which operates the ship, said in a statement that the company has reached out to the families of the missing crew members and is providing them with updates.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the individuals and their families," Nolan said.
