Baltic Sea: 50 Ships Stuck in the Ice

Thousands of people are stuck on the dozens of ships trapped into the frozen Baltic Sea.

News agencies from Sweden reported about at least fifty ships and the estimation was confirmed by the Swedish Maritime Authority who declared ” Around fifty ships are awaiting helps right now to be able to restart their route; six ferries got stuck because of the ice but we finally managed to free already two.”

Between the four still unable to restart moving because of the thick ice layer that covers the Baltic Sea, there are also two of the Viking Line ones covering the Stockholm-Helsinki route.

According to what said from Sweden, they would be the ferries named “Isabella” and “Amorella”, well known party boats that, according to sources, would today have a total of 2.630 passengers on board.
