hi,i'm still wondering what is going on there in the ice.i saw some bad pictures in german tv from the fishing vessels closed in ice pressure.they said,even an icebreaker has problems.somebody has made a wrong decission,this should not happen for an experienced shipper.i know,from what i'm talking about,i had my first ice experience in that area,later in the baltic sea.about the seals i discuss always with my wife,she is a newfie....i hope nobody will loss the life or his vessel.brgds mooringman
