Hudson River Choked With Ice Cleared By Daring Coast Guard Operation
New York, New York – On January 28, 2026, the U.S. Coast Guard conducted ice-breaking operations in the New York Harbor following freezing temperatures and a recent snowstorm that swept the Northeast.
The Coast Guard Cutter Hawser (WYTL 65610) and the Coast Guard Cutter Katherine Walker (WLM 552) worked to clear ice from the lower Hudson River and the Port of New York and New Jersey.
These operations ensured vital waterways remained navigable for vessels, supporting commerce and maritime safety during the harsh winter conditions.
The icebreaking missions reflect the Coast Guard’s ongoing role in maintaining open ports and rivers, protecting both economic activity and safety on the water.
