Venezuelan sailing bark Simon Bolivar can not call at St. Petersburg port due to severe ice situation in the Gulf of Finland, reports referring to ice operational center of St. Petersburg port. In accordance with the visit program, Venezuelan training sailer BE-11 Simon Bolivar was supposed to moor at Lt. Shmidt Embankment in Tuesday morning. So far, the time of the sailer's arrival in St. Petersburg is uncertain. Icebreaker escort presents a problem and is not safe because of strong wind causing ice twitch and lack of ice stiffening in the sailer. Currently, Simon Bolivar is anchored at the edge of ice floe near Rodsher Island. Icebreaker Karu provides the sailer's security.
