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

In the world’s most complex and challenging environments, U.S. Coast Guard maintains access, facilitates maritime commerce, and strengthens America’s maritime dominance. As U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star began icebreaking operations for Operation Deep Freeze 2026, the cutter marked 50 years of service by breaking through Antarctic pack ice to ensure safe navigation and sustain U.S. operations in the polar regions. When the cruise ship Scenic Eclipse II became beset in Antarctic pack ice, Polar Star responded immediately, breaking it free and escorting it to open water — underscoring the importance of a robust U.S. icebreaker fleet. America’s only heavy icebreaker continues to deliver where no other ship can operate. #USCG #Icebreaking #PolarStar U.S. Coast GuardPACAREA Homeland Security

Freezing temperatures across the country cannot slow down the U.S. Coast Guard. With some parts of the U.S. dealing with the most ice they’ve seen in a decade, Coast Guard icebreaker crews are hard at work on missions in the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic waterways to keep commerce moving and ensure American life continues without interruption. These missions will keep commercial goods like food and fuel flowing throughout the country and keep America going. From lifesaving evacuations to high-seas interdictions—and now interior icebreaking operations—these heroes more than live up to the Coast Guard motto: Semper Paratus, Always Ready.

Restoring American maritime dominance in regions of strategic importance – no matter how harsh or remote. Our icebreakers are carving paths for U.S. national security and scientific discovery through feet of solid ice. For 50 years, #USCG Cutter Polar Star has been the key to this mission. Success here relies on the unparalleled skill of our ice pilots, who navigate the formidable waters of #OperationDeepFreeze. Through historic investment in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Coast Guard is accelerating these operations by recapitalizing our icebreaker fleet. Hear from Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Jones on what it takes to be at the helm: USCG Pacific Area
