極端氣候肆虐,北半球近來異常寒冷,近日一台貨輪載運數十輛日本二手車並前往俄羅斯結果大浪加上零下攝氏19度的低溫,讓汽車們在惡劣天氣下急凍,有些甚至被厚達15公分的冰霜包住,根本認不出本尊,猶如被動畫片《冰雪奇緣》的女王艾莎用魔法吹撫冷凍。這些車輛估計已幾乎報廢,可能只剩零部件可用,讓客戶欲哭無淚。

Ship icing occurs due to a humid sea wind, waves and sub-zero air temperatures which leads to an increase in draft, heeling and can increase the risk of a ship's overturn.

貨輪抵達海參威(Vladivostok)後,只能靠起重機把一台台冰凍的車輛吊離,有目擊者說,「真是一場徹底的惡夢,太可怕了...現在這些已經不是車子了,而是一堆垃圾。」氣象專家季什科韋茨(Evgney Tishkovets)表示,凍結的汽車已經被冰擠壓,窗戶有裂痕、雨刷和把手肯定被海水破壞;而跑進車身的海水保證「車子會更快生鏽」,「最糟糕的是,電氣設備一定都壞光光...真是對汽車的死刑。」

日本二手車在俄羅斯十分受到歡迎,汽車銷售員巴戈拉(Alexander Bagola)表示,「船上有許多日產(Nissan)Leaf電動車...這些車輛應該是趕在2022年新的電動車進口關稅規定生效前抵達。」另外也有豐田(Toyota)以及本田(Honda)的車輛。有民眾指出今年的風比往年的要強,船長奧西錢司基(Pyotr Osichansky)說,「現在是12月,海面波濤洶湧,風又很大,海水濺到船上就變成厚厚的冰殼了。」
