The Canadian cargo ship with 17 people on board is still in ice on Lake Erie near Buffal, NY, according to Omar Fabi from the American Coast Guard. It’s frozen in the water from Wednesday.

The efforts to get rid of this have experienced “progress” on Thursday, Faba said. However, the work was interrupted in the evening, he told CBC News. He said the plan was to continue operating on Friday and hopefully he would be released.

The 202-meter manitoulin dropped the wheat cargo and headed back to Sarni, on., When he stuck in the ice that was quickly created at the temperatures below zero along the coast of the buffal.

And there remains, creating a striking scene on the lake, on all sides surrounded by ice and snow.

“We just didn’t have a bad winter for some time. Now that we had it, and people didn’t see this for a while, they wonder ‘what’s going on?'” Said Paul Angelillo, a search and rescue specialist at the Coast Guard in Buffalo.

Freight ships on large lakes can usually sail surface ice in winter, but occasionally they come across an ice that is too hard or fat to break, he said.

Manitoulin is not damaged, and the captain and the crew are safe, said the coastal guard.
