Offices of missing Titanic submarine firm OceanGate appear rundown with items left outside

Miscellaneous items have been spotted stacked outside the somewhat shabby-looking entrance to OceanGate, the company behind the missing Titanic sub.

The missing Titanic submarine has tragically not been found as the deadline for oxygen running out on the submersible passed without any breakthrough in the search.

A desperate international mission was underway to try and find the five passengers stuck on the Titan vessel before the four-day oxygen ran out.

The sub lost contact with its mother ship on Sunday morning, an hour and 45 minutes into its trip down to the wreckage of the Titanic.

Pictures have emerged showing the run-down exterior of OceanGate's HQ.

Spooled wires and hoses are spooled around the area of the non-descript warehouse.

Miscellaneous items, including a floral deckchair, can bee seen in apparent disorganised piles.

A FedEx parcel slip, which are left when delivery drivers can't successfully be delivered, was seen taped to the business' front door.

A US coast guard spokesperson previously said oxygen on the sub would have ran out at exactly 7.08am EST - 12.08pm in the UK - today.

The craft submerged Sunday morning, and its support vessel lost contact with it about an hour and 45 minutes later, according to the Coast Guard.

Rescue teams were frantically searching for Pakistani British-based businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Sulaiman Dawood, French submersible pilot Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and chief executive and founder of OceanGate Expeditions, Stockton Rush.

However, the Rear Admiral in charge of the search, John Mauger, of the US Coast Guard, has said the operation to find a missing submersible is "still an active search and rescue".

Asked if he believes the oxygen on board will have run out by now, Mr Mauger told Sky News: "We continue to keep the crew members and the families in our thoughts as we proceed with this search and rescue while we're cognisant of the time and we've factored in a lot of data and information into the search.

"This is still an active search and rescue at this point and we're using the equipment that we have on the bottom right now, the remote operated vehicles to expand our search capability, and then also to provide rescue capability as well."

The US Coast Guard said it was deploying two remotely operated vehicles.

The French government-backed vessel is about to deploy its own ROV, Victor 6000, into the ocean, the Coast Guard said.

The Horizon Artic ship arrived at the site of Titanic wreckage last night after travelling 400 miles overnight across the Atlantic Ocean from St John's port on the eastern Canadian coast to help join the frantic search.

The ship arrived with heavy duty cables and it was reported to be the last major support vessel to arrive before the oxygen on the vessel runs out, according to the US Coast Guard.
