I blocked rescue Russian Antarctic passenger ship, Snow Dragon to stand _ Snow Dragon Antarctic | | | rescue news

December 30, according to the State Oceanic Administration Web site messages, to help Russia trapped ships, the "Snow Dragon" boat full of ice-breaking, but due to Russia's stranded boat near the sea ice conditions seriously, "Snow Dragon" ship at this time from the Russian ship 6 nautical miles.

"Snow Dragon" ship's captain Wang Jianzhong said that "Snow Dragon" densities of sea ice around the ship closer to 10, ~4 3 m metres in thickness, and formed ice ridges, ice floes between little ice crevices, complicated ice conditions have been far more than "Snow Dragon" vessel ice-breaking capability. In addition, the 28th after a large cyclone, "Snow Dragon" vessel operating area of sea ice will continue to gather and accumulate, density and intensity of sea ice in a rapidly increased.

30th Antarctic expeditions of the provisional CPC Committee of China attach great importance to the rescue work, met on several occasions to discuss relief efforts. Under the "Snow Dragon" sea ice in the sea near the ship, as well as future changes in the weather, temporary Party Committee decided to "Snow Dragon" boat stop, wait for the follow-up vessel arrivals or weather such as ice loose again with each other when their own rescue. At the same time, the "Snow Dragon" boat continue to expand jobs, so that their own maneuvering to turn around, avoid being trapped.

At present, Russia ships trapped in stable condition there is no demand for emergency evacuation of passengers and crew. Another involved in the rescue of Australia "Aurora" ships are visiting the Russian ship was trapped. Australia MRCC hoped "Snow Dragon" ships to stand by to help up Australia "Aurora" first aid, following the arrival of the boat together.

The morning of December 29, the "Snow Dragon" loose pack ice in the waters around the ship, as well as the emergence of sunny weather for a short time. Expeditions sent out "Ka-32" helicopters to conduct aerial exploration of ice observed while visiting Russian ships trapped in order to find appropriate means of assistance and routes.

Through the observations found in the air, in front of ice condition is still very serious, massive ice floes have been frozen, hard to find ice, and found huge ice around the trapped Russian ships, various unfavourable conditions are not conducive, "Snow Dragon" ship breaking the ice ahead. Provisional party for the expedition to discuss the decision again, "Snow Dragon" vessel in situ continuing standby.

我雪龙号南极救援俄客船受阻 原地待命|雪龙|南极|救援_新闻资讯

　　中新网12月30日电 据国家海洋局网站消息，自参与救援俄罗斯被困船以来，“雪龙”船全力破冰，但由于俄被困船附近海域冰情严重，“雪龙”船目前停在距俄船6海里处。

　　“雪龙”船船长王建忠介绍说，目前“雪龙”船周围海冰密集度接近十成，最厚处达3米～4米，并且形成了冰脊，浮冰间鲜有冰隙，复杂的冰情已远超过“雪龙”船破冰能力范围。此外，受28日经过的较大气旋影响，“雪龙”船作业区域的浮冰还将不断聚集和堆积，海冰密度和强度在迅速加大。

　　中国第30次南极考察队临时党委高度重视救援工作，多次召开会议商讨救援工作。根据“雪龙”船附近海域海冰情况以及未来天气变化，临时党委决定“雪龙”船停止前进，原地等待后续船只到来或等天气转好浮冰自行松散后再行施救。同时，“雪龙”船继续扩展作业面，以便自身可以机动调头，防止被困。

　　目前，俄罗斯被困船舶情况稳定，暂时没有紧急疏散乘客和船员的需求。另一艘参与救援的澳大利亚“极光”号船正在前往俄船被困位置。澳大利亚搜救中心希望“雪龙”船能够原地待命，提供帮助，直到澳大利亚“极光”号船抵达后共同施救。

　　12月29日上午，“雪龙”船周边水域浮冰有所松动，并出现了短时间的晴天天气。考察队派出了“ka-32”直升机进行空中探冰，同时前往俄船受困地点进行观测，以便寻找合适的救助方式和路线。

　　通过在空中观测发现，前方冰情仍然很严重，巨大的浮冰已被冻住，很难找到冰隙，并且在俄受困船附近发现了巨大冰块，种种不利条件都不利于“雪龙”船破冰前行。考察队临时党委再次商讨决定，“雪龙”船在原地继续待命。
