Ryan Maue ‏@RyanMaue 3 min Stranded Antarctic research (pleasure cruise) ship voyage was bungled to begin with ... says NY Times. (@dotearth) [ link to dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com] … that it is important to understand: that in such research cruises captain and crew are required to comply the orders of the expedition's sciense chief (in this case australian's chief ) where and how to follow the ship. captain may refuse to execute the order only if it is sure that there is an obvious and pronounced threat for vessel life. sciense chief , in turn, should understand very well to which ice conditions he " pushes " the ship and whether the risks are justified or at least should be in the expedition of a good specialist in ice conditions . judging by the horrible conditions in which the vessel , neither one nor the other sciense chief of the expedition was not ensured ... [ link to www.newsru.com] google translation ...Captain "Academica Shokalski " so said the refusal to evacuate the crew : " The ship is not in danger , it is in normal operation , but we were on the ice ." " We hope for a change of wind, which will allow us to try to get out on their own. And hopefully that will help us get an American icebreaker Polar Star, which will cope with our ice- hundred percent ," - said the captain . John Young also confirmed that currently the Russian vessel is safe. "The decision of the crew is the responsibility of his captain - said the head of rescue operations AMSA. - Dining continue with " Academician Shokalski " we have not been exhausted , but I want to clarify that all now seem to us to be less effective than the evacuation ."
