The icebreaker «Kapitan Dranitsyn» in early January escorted the cargo vessels «Johan Makhmastall» and «Sinegorsk» to Pevek, the port town located on the coast of the East Siberian Sea. The voyage had dramatic consequences for the ships and their crews. With great difficulties they had made it to Pevek. But the ice conditions in the area made it impossible for them to return home. It became a very long winter in one of the world’s most remote Arctic towns. Only in late May did «Kapitan Dranitsyn» start breaking its way out of the port. According to Rosmorport, the state port development company, ice conditions in the area now allow for the movement of the ships out of the Pevek port. https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/arctic/2017/05/ice-locked-ships-start-moving-pevek-after-5-months-captivity
