In February, 2010, the Bohai Bay turned into a massive ice rink. There is no need for fishermen to chain their boats to the shores of Juhua Island; they have all been frozen firmly to the spot. A large chunk of ice floats can also seriously imperil CNOOC platform. According to local authorities, sea ice has made more than 100 nautical miles and is estimated to keep increasing until the Spring Festival. In these severe conditions, the icebreakers are needed every day to protect the platform and deliver commodities and staff.
