The search for survivors from the sinking of the El Faro cargo ship will be called off at sunset Wednesday, the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed.

USCG Captain Mark Fedor told reporters Wednesday afternoon that it was highly unlikely anybody could have survived six days at sea after abandoning ship in midst of a Category 4 hurricane.

“The decision to end a search is painful, but it is based on the art and science of rescue [operations],” Fedor said, adding that a person could only survive for 4-5 days at sea even in favorable conditions.
