Russian Ship Stranded in Icy Seas

A Russian cargo ship with a 30-member crew was stranded yesterday in the icy Sea of Okhotsk, emergency officials said.

The Smolninsky refrigerated vessel was being battered by side winds and listing dangerously to its port side, said Gusman Rafikov, a duty officer for a search and rescue center on Russia's far eastern Sakhalin Island.

"There is the fear that the ship could sink," said local Emergencies Ministry spokesman Alexander Ivelsky.
