In the Sea of Okhotsk, the Krasin and Admiral Makarov icebreakers are leading two Russian icebound ships to open water.More than half the distance has been covered in the past 24 hours.
The caravan is travelling very slowly because of pack ice off the Sakhalin coast. 5 ships sent SOS signals on December 31st.
A minor icebreaker Magadan was the first to have been sent to the rescue, but failed to break the 2-metre thick ice, so a more powerful icebreaker, the Admiral Makarov, joined in.
The Admiral Makarov has already led two icebound ships to open water. A factory ship is still waiting to be released from captivity.
