A cargo ship with 17 people on board can now move freely after it stuck in the ice of Lake Eri for several days. The ship was freed Saturday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.. About this writes The Independent.

Canadian ship Manitoulin with a length of 202 meters with 17 people on board stuck in the ice of Lake Eri on Wednesday, on January 22, after it unloaded wheat to Buffalo, New York, and headed back to Canada.

The ship was not injured, and his team was safe, officials said. Cargo vessels in the Canadian Great Lakes often pass through surface ice in winter, but sometimes they come across too thick ice. Canadian coastal guard also directed the ship to assist the icebreaker.

The cargo ship was escorted through nearly 20 miles of ice from Buffalo until it reached free water, according to Lt. Kyle Rivera of the Coast Guard..

At the scene of the incident, there was also a helicopter of the coast guard of the United States, which tracked what was happening. The third coast guard vessel was supposed to arrive on Monday in case Manitoulin remains stuck.

Recall that the cargo ship has lost millions of rare LEGO details in the sea.

It was also reported that the Chinese Navy put into operation a new generation of Type 054b..
