The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Penobscot Bay, home ported in Bayonne, N.J., conducts icebreaking operations on the Hudson River in support of Operation Reliable Energy Northeast Winter (RENEW), Jan. 24, 2014. The Coast Guard’s domestic icebreaking operations are intended to facilitate navigation within reasonable demands of commerce and minimize waterways closures during the winter, while enabling commercial vessels to transit through ice-covered critical channels.
