The bulk carriers 'Nordic Nuluujaak', en route from Milne Inlet to Nakhodka, and 'Golden Suek', en route from Murmansk to China, were still stuck, waiting to be freed in the East Siberian Sea. The 'Poolgracht', en route from Dongjing to Gydan, 'UHL Faith', en route from Taicang to Hamburg, and the 'UHL Flash', en route from Taicang to Rotterdam, were stuck in the Vil'kitskogo Strait resp. Laptev Sea as well. About a dozen Russian cargo ships were also positioned along the route, either waiting for icebreaker assistance or trying to find passages through the ice floes.
