A Russian cargo ship with about 30 crew members aboard was in danger of sinking off Russia's eastern coast while stormy weather interfered with rescue efforts, state-run Itar-Tass news agency said on Friday.
Ice had formed on the outside of the ship, and the crew was chipping it off.
The crew sent out a distress signal, but there was no explanation of the problem.
