A rescue vessel is rushing to free a damaged Australian fishing ship with 27
people aboard which has become trapped in thick Antarctic ice.


Antarctic Chieftain


The 207-foot ship, the Antarctic Chieftain, suffered propeller damage after
hitting a chunk of ice on February 7 in an isolated region near the Ross Sea,
south-east of New Zealand. The ship, which is used for harvesting Patagonian
toothfish, became stranded in ice floes up to 10 feet thick and lacked the
power to break free.


WD>What happened is that these fishermen were after toothfish and the season
WD>is closing, so they ran their boat against some free-floating ice and
WD>busted 3 out of its 4 propellers and had the rudder bent also. In short,
WD>they're heading nowhere anymore and need a tow.


WD>At the moment there is no 10 feet pack ice at 1700km from McMurdo, even
WD>more ... McMurdo reports an open sea.

WD>What the icebreaker is doing is
WD>clearing a path to that immobilized fishing vessel to allow a second boat
WD>to get through the icepatches unscathed to start the tow.


*Clearing a path*? Through what? ....Cotton candy? If there's `open sea'...as
you claim above....then what is this `Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star' breaking
up around the fishing vessel? Marmalade?


WD>The reports are a clear case of journalists needing to fill their column.


Oh....so the photos of the thick ice surrounding the fishing boat? ...Were
they all `faked up' or something? That isn't really ice? What is it then?


WD>Love the dramatic tone, but there's nothing dramatic about it.


Well....there's something `strange' about it. Because thats `heavy ice', and
that vessel IS trapped in it. Here's the story to go with it. Notice no *Fox

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP)  A U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker was towing a
fishing boat out of heavy ice in Antarctica on Saturday after the vessel was
stuck there for three days with 26 people aboard.


New Zealand authorities, who were helping coordinate the rescue effort, said
the Coast Guard had earlier broken up the ice around the fishing boat and sent
down an unmanned underwater vehicle to take a look at the boat's propeller
blades.


The Coast Guard determined that the blades were too badly damaged for the
boat, the Australian-registered Antarctic Chieftan, to try to power out under
its own steam, according to the Rescue Coordination Centre.


Authorities said the fishing boat suffered damage to three of its four
propeller blades and lost its ability to maneuver after becoming stuck in the
ice Wednesday.


The icebreaker Polar Star traveled several hundred nautical miles through
heavy ice to reach it.


Polar Star Commanding Officer Capt. Matthew Walker said in a statement that
the conditions were more formidable than expected, with heavy snow and large
icebergs.


The plan is for the boat to be towed away from the ice field, and for a New
Zealand fishing boat, the Janas, to then escort or tow it to the nearest safe
harbor. The Janas expects to reach the area on Monday.


The 63-meter (207-foot) Antarctic Chieftan became stuck about 900 nautical
miles (1,666 kilometers) northeast of McMurdo Sound. It's licensed to catch
Antarctic toothfish, a prized delicacy often marketed in North America as
Chilean sea bass.


Mike Hill, the manager of New Zealand's Rescue Coordination Centre, said the
hull of the boat remained undamaged and the crew were well provisioned and
didn't face any immediate danger.
