The situation in terms of the numbers of vessels that are beset has improved considerably. As of this morning we only have seven, and we expect in the next day or two to free all of those vessels. We expect it will still be at least a couple of weeks before that ice breaks up. The winds haven't been in our favour in the last two or three days, but they've shifted again. I would hope that within a couple of days there will be no more vessels beset.
