 I am not sure it is the situation here! But: It is usual at temperatures near zero that the ice crystals sink and gets to plug the cooling water intakes strainers or in the strum boxes.  The engines then over heat and stop. A loss of power and rudder is resulting.  Some times we  can observe the ships  sailing with anchors  ready to be dropped. A caution required by the experimented pilots.
