When the ice comes, U.S. Coast Guard crews are breaking through where Americans need it most. In the face of the most severe Arctic cold in over a decade, U.S. Coast Guard crews have been conducting vital icebreaking operations from the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast. Through continued icebreaking operations, we’re supporting energy security and facilitating commerce in response to ice impacts to navigation on our waterways. #USCG #IceBreaking #MTS #commerce Homeland Security U.S. Coast GuardLANTAREA U.S. Coast GuardGreatLakes U.S. Coast GuardNortheast USCG East District

Breaking ice to keep America moving. Winter weather doesn’t stop commerce, or the U.S. Coast Guard. In 2025, U.S. Coast Guard facilitated the movement of $5.4T in maritime commerce and 1.8B tons of cargo across U.S. waterways. From the Northeast to the Great Lakes, our icebreaking crews ensure critical supplies reach communities, even in the harshest winter conditions. With historic funding from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Coast Guard is recapitalizing our domestic icebreaker fleet and maximizing our return on investment across America’s waterways. #USCG #Icebreaking #MTS #Commerce Homeland Security U.S. Coast GuardNortheast U.S. Coast GuardGreatLakes U.S. Coast GuardLANTAREA

NEW: Trapped cruise ship rescued from thick ice near Antarctica by the United States Coast Guard. The Scenic Eclipse II, which can hold 228 passengers and 176 crew members, was traveling through the Ross Sea when it got stuck. The USCGC Polar Star was seen breaking the ice to create a path for the cruise ship to pass through. "The Australian-owned cruise ship Scenic Eclipse II contacted Polar Star at approximately 11 p.m., local time Friday after becoming beset in pack ice roughly eight nautical miles from McMurdo Sound," the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement. "Polar Star’s crew conducted two close passes to break the vessel free, then escorted it approximately four nautical miles to open water."

A bold step forward for America and the U.S. Coast Guard. On August 10, we’ll commission the Storis (WAGB 21), our first polar icebreaker in 25+ years. This historic milestone strengthens U.S. Arctic presence, protects national security, and continues America’s leadership in the region. The Storis is a game-changer for Arctic security, and will bolster the Coast Guard’s ability to control, secure, and defend the U.S. border around Alaska and maritime approaches in the Arctic.
