Police are searching for Richard Davis, an adult male fisherman from Atkinson, who has been reported missing. ^[1] The Coast Guard reported that a tugboat capsized in waters off the southeastern city of Busan on Wednesday. ^[2] Two crew members have been rescued so far, while six others remain missing after the incident. ^[3] Richard Davis has not been seen since going missing on Saturday, August 29, 2026. ^[4] Richard Davis went fishing on the rocks along the seashore in an area known as Big River, Atkinson, at about 6:30 AM on Saturday, August 29, 2026. ^[5] The CDPF, including the Coast Guard, has been carrying out searches for Richard Davis and says the search efforts are continuing. ^[6] President Lee Jae Myung has instructed authorities to mobilize all available resources for the search and rescue efforts. ^[7] The 286-ton vessel, believed to be carrying eight crew members, overturned in the waters just southeast of Busan at about 1:30 p.m. ^[8] Panayiotis Agathokleous stated that for private leisure boats, the final responsibility for the decision to depart remains with the captain and the operator of the vessel. ^[9] Panayiotis Agathokleous, the Port Authority Chief of Limassol, stated on 2026-04-12 that the Port Authority can suspend departures for commercial vessels when weather conditions make navigation dangerous. ^[10] Panayiotis Agathokleous noted that international practice dictates that if a vessel encounters difficult conditions, it must seek shelter in a safe port. ^[11] Panayiotis Agathokleous stated that penalties are necessary to ensure compliance, particularly for professional activities or passenger transport, as safety cannot rely solely on a captain's judgment. ^[12]
