CCTV from around 11.15pm on Thursday 9th February shows him near Portals Place on the marina.
Sgt Dave Lester said: “Asking our colleagues from Northumbria’s specialist marine unit to help today was a logical next step in our search efforts because CCTV footage shows Andrew around the marina late on Thursday night.
“We are, however, following other lines of inquiry as well and our main concern is to find him safe and well.
“We are working with Andrew’s home force, Devon and Cornwall Police, to keep his family informed and they’re being supported by officers at what must be an incredibly stressful and difficult time.
“Our thoughts are with them and once again I’d ask anyone who has seen Andrew to contact Cleveland Police on the 101 number while we continue to search for him.”
