The Scandies Rose, a crab boat based in Kodiak, Alaska was lost tragically on December 31, 2019. This New Year's Eve incident near Sutwik Island in the Gulf of Alaska led to a harrowing rescue, a difficult investigation and helped change the way regulators calculate for Ice Accretion on commercial vessels.
