Tug beset in ice

The US Coast Guard assisted two vessels beset by ice in the Hudson River in the morning of Jan 2, 2018. Watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector New York command center were notified on Dec 31, 2017, that the "Brooklyn" had become beset in ice, and a second tug, the "Stephanie Dann", became hampered by ice on Jan 1. The Coast Guard Cutter "Penobscot Bay", a 140-foot ice-breaking tug, arrived on scene in the evening of Dec 31 to help free the "Brooklyn" near Saugerties, New York. The tug had become stuck after getting disabled en route to Albany. After the tug was freed, the Coast Guard Cutter "Hawser", a 65-foot harbour tug, escorted the "Brooklyn" to its destination.
