UPDATE: Coast Guards underway to assist motor vessel beset by ice Lake Erie
BUFFALO — U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay (WTGB 102) has moored in Buffalo, New York, following hours of ice breaking operations to assist the motor vessel MANITOULIN beset by ice on Lake Erie.
Just think of how much worse it would have been without global warming!
Russian nuclear icebreaker "50 Let Pobedy" (50 Years of Victory) collided with with a Russian cargo ship "Yamal Krechet" in the Arctic.
It says this has happened before. They're lucky this didn't turn out worse.
The only way to avoid this is with well designed checklists and procedures, and lots of training. It might be smart for the ice breakers to be able to put a pilot on any cargo ship that is operating close to the ice breaker, so the ice breaker can always be sure the cargo ship will operate as expected.
From what I understand, it wasn't an escort but a rescue mission - the cargo ship was completely stuck and the icebreaker had to come in close to set her free.
Chinese bulker 'Ang Yang-2" run aground near Sakhalin in the Russian Far East.

A container ship "MSC Baltic III" run aground off the coast of Newfoundland Island. The crew was evacuated by the Canadian Air Force.
A German-owned, Portuguese-flagged containership "Solong", rammed into an American tanker, loaded with jet fuel, "Stena Immaculate", anchored off the British coast. Both ships are on fire. Both crews were evacuated. All sailors are accounted for and safe.

The fires have been put down, and both vessels remain afloat. Unfortunately, despite early reports, one of the sailors from "Solong" is missing, presumed dead. Local authorities arrested Solong's captain, a Russian citizen Vladimir Motin.

Could go to the clown world thread...
A hoe laden Lamborghini boat took water and bagun to sink off the coast of Florida. All hoes were safely evacuated, and apparently continued to party on another boat.

Someone should tell them all to go on a diet and watch the social network have a full-scale nuclear meltdown.
Personally, I think that this forum needs a 'THOT' emoji.
A Mexican Navy tall ship "Cuauhtémoc" collided with the Brooklyn Bridge. 2 sailors have died and 19 more were injured.
The bridge was temporarily shut down for inspection, but it was already reopened so it didn't suffer any structural damage.
