Did Henry Hudson succeed on his third voyage after signing a contract with the dutch?

No i don't think he succeeded in his third voyage because

Hudson's first two expeditions had been funded by the Muscovy Company. However, they now lost faith that he could find a northern passage. He went to the Dutch and soon had another ship called the Half Moon financed by the Dutch East India Company. They told Hudson to try to find a way around Russia again going to Novaya Zemlya.

Despite clear instructions from the Dutch, Hudson ended up taking a different route. When his crew nearly mutinied because of the cold weather, he turned around and sailed to North America. He first landed and met Native Americans in Maine. Then he traveled south until he found a river. He explored the river which would later be called Hudson River. This area would later be settled by the Dutch including an area on the tip of Manhattan which would one day become New York City.

Eventually the Half Moon could no longer travel up the river and they had to return home. Upon returning home, the King James I of England was angry with Hudson for sailing for another country. Hudson was put under house arrest and was told never to explore for another country again. so i don't think he succeeded.

Is it true that the Hudson River can never freeze completely?

The surface of Hudson River in the vicinity of Manhattan froze 3 times in written history, 1821, 1780 and 1720, according to I.N. Phelps Stokes's ''Iconography of Manhattan Island.''

The surface further upstream would completely freeze but for icebreaker ships that keep the waters open for commercial traffic.

It is unlikely the Hudson would ever freeze completely as it is salty near it's mouth and upwards of forty-five feet deep.
