From what I understand, the Coast Guard ship Polar Star which is based here in Seattle is heading south on another mission and has been diverted to free the stuck ships. It is capable of breaking ice up to 21 feet thick.

Truly an international effort, nothing quite like getting bogged and needing a friendly tow..

Looks like the Polar Star has been re-routed and is now heading elsewhere:
