If the Australian breaker was not made in China, then it may succeed in its mission.The Chinese breaker was made in the Ukraine and is rated at 1.1 meters. The Australian breaker is rated at 1.23 meters.
The ice is reportedly 3-4 meters thick.

If true the ship would be ten - thirten feet in ice. That could possibly start to put the ships power plants and propulsion in danger. Once the sea water intake and discharge ports freeze up the ship can't function. That would include back up generator.
