Its 22 crew are expected to remain on board to wait until the vessel becomes free. ...

It sounds like this has been an overblown rescue story. The people weren't in any real danger since they could have dropped food if needed, and the ship has plenty of fuel.
The ship is supposedly an ice breaker however, it is Russian made. Ice shifts constantly and can exert tremendous pressure on a ships hull. The ship could well be damaged beyond repair and sink during the next thaw. Wise move getting most of the folks off during decent weather.
There was some danger but not anything immediate. The newscasts made it sound like another kid stuck in the well story. Also, I'm guessing the crew has inspected the ship as well as they are able and trust it seaworthiness or they would have abandoned it.
Whaddaya wanna bet the crew just TOLD the passengers they were stuck, just to be rid of the pack of brainless, know-it-all, glow bull whining DUmbasses?
Brilliant deduction. We will find out soon enough if it miraculously breaks free and resumes its voyage.
