Maybe (like a COMS holder) he got tired of waiting for his boat to come in: Russian ice-breaker, Finnish tanker break free 12:39 p.m. Dec 09, 1998 Eastern PEVEK, Russia, Dec 9 (Reuters) - A nuclear icebreaker accompanying a Finnish tanker that carried vital supplies to the isolated Chukotka peninsula near Alaska broke through thick ice on Wednesday after getting stuck for two days, officials said. The Sovietsky Soyuz (Soviet Union) icebreaker on Monday sent out a call for help after the two ships were blocked by ice 15-20 metres (50-65 feet) thick 180 km (110 miles) west of the Arctic port of Pevek. They had sought a helicopter to help find the route to thinner ice, but eventually the icebreaker was able to get through without assistance, said Nikolai Svityk, a deputy governor of the Arctic region. ''We talked to them today by satellite communications and they no longer need the helicopter,'' he said. ''They have already moved 34 km to the west.'' The nuclear icebreaker helped the tanker bring in fuel for regional power plants, a delivery vital for the region, one of the world's most isolated corners, to survive the bitter winter. The ship also ran into very heavy ice late last month on the way to Pevek and received aerial help in finding a route. Copyright 1998 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
