Icebreaker suffered breakdown
On March 2, 2026, the 'Biscayne Bay' suffered a breakdown that restricted its ability to make precision turns needed to clear ice near docks and ferry routes. The cutter remained in service but could only clear already-opened channels. The other local 140-foot cutter, the 'Katmai Bay', was sidelined in port indefinitely for unspecified repairs. The two cutters regularly clear the St. Marys River corridor, a shipping chokepoint between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The St. Marys River, northern Georgian Bay and Whitefish Bay remained covered by one-to-two feet of shore-attached “fast” ice that must be broken loose. On March 4, the U.S. Coast Guard said it would redeploy another icebreaker to help clear ice near the Sugar Island ferry rout.
Damaged depth finder replaced
Crew members of the "Biscayne Bay" assisted, as members of the Michigan State Police Dive team helped to replace a damaged depth finder on the cutter at its homeport St. Ignace, Michigan, on Mar 3, 2015. Collaboration with partner agencies is an important and valued part of keeping the Coast Guard Great Lakes ice breaking fleet prepared to open shipping channels and break ice throughout the winter season.
