The forecast is wind n-w upto 18 m/s changing to s-w upto 17 m/s, strong ice movement, hammocking, ice squeeze. Its decided instead to save the vessels which remained stuck in the ice in the Western part of the Azov sea by means of all the 4 ice-breakers. For the last 12 hrs ice-breakers did the following: "Kapitan Moshkin" arrived to mv Zenit, supplied her with 10t fuel and 5t water, convoying from the hammocked ice. Passed 4.5 miles. "Kapitan Demidov" Reached Mystery K. Now working to get the vsl free of ice and then will convoy her. Passed 4 miles. "Kapitan Chudinov" Passed 6 miles, sailing to Amur-2505 "Kapitan Krutov" Passed 2.5 miles. Convoying mv "Krasnyi Aksay" from the hammocked ice.
