Forty passengers are still stuck aboard the MV Blue Puttees in the ice off Cape Breton.
The Marine Atlantic ferry, which connects Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, has been there since Wednesday afternoon.
The Louis S. St-Laurent the largest icebreaker in the Canadian Coast Guards fleet has been trying to remove the vessel but so far hasnt had any luck.
The ice is so pressurized and thick right now in that area they are unable to get through the ice as well. ... Marine Atlantic spokesperson Darrell Mercer said.
This year, [ice] moved in early to mid-February, and it doesnt show any signs of going away any time soon, he said. Ive heard the Canadian Coast Guard say its the worst of the 30-year averages theyve been keeping.

Impossible, there is no Arctic ace anymore.
And besides, the water level is 10 feet higher than we think it is.
Everybody knows it, it's settled science and damn all deniers.

If the ice moved in in mid Feb why did this boat leave the dock?

Warmmunist is good.
Hadn’t heard it before.
Will claim it as my own coinage when at least 1,000 miles from New York.

Thankfully, global warming is keeping the passengers and crew, warm while they await Canadian ice breakers!

This says both ferries were unstuck two and back on the job Tuesday - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/both-marine-atlantic-ferries-back-on-the-move-1.2999429
Are they stuck again or old news? Can’t imagine how both could get stuck. When the first got stuck, one would think they’d give a heads up to the second not to depart or turn around. The ride is about 6 hours so surely they knew the conditions before leaving port. It isn’t as if this is the Dark Ages. Pick up a phone. Check the weather. What’s all those nifty satellites for?

Are they stuck again or old news? Stuck again; the story at your CBC link is from earlier this week. From the that link:
The Blue Puttees was scheduled to leave Port aux Basques at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.
This is the ferry that is currently stuck.
