Ice had formed on the outside of the ship, and the crew was chipping it off. The crew sent out a distress signal, but there was no explanation of the problem. Because of the severe weather, aircraft can't be used to rescue the crew.

　　According to Itar-Tass, the vessel is about 90 miles from an oil rig where rescue vessels are based, while a tugboat dispatched from land was still about four times farther away.
