Ever Forward, ‘cousin’ ship to Ever Given, runs aground off U.S. coast
Global News
The massive cargo vessel, Ever Forward, got stuck in the Chesapeake Bay off the coast of the U.S.
The ironically named Ever Forward, a 334-metre (over 1,095 feet) container ship, is stuck in the Chesapeake Bay, a year to the month its cousin, the Ever Given, blocked the Suez Canal in Egypt.
The Hong Kong-flagged Ever Forward ran aground on Sunday night after departing the Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The ship was en route to Norfolk, Va.
Though the U.S. Coast Guard is trying to refloat the container vessel, it is unclear what caused the stranding.
Maryland-National Capital Region Sector Commander Capt. David O’Connell told CBS Baltimore that the Craighill Channel — where the Ever Forward is stuck — is estimated to be about 50 feet deep. The ship, while travelling outside of the channel, became stuck in water that was about 25 feet deep, O’Connell said.
The Ever Forward requires water at least 43 feet deep in order to move.
William P. Doyle, the executive director of the Maryland Port Association, told Bloomberg the Ever Forward’s situation will not prevent other ships from transiting to the Port of Baltimore.
Other vessels in the area have been instructed to pass using one-way traffic and transit at a reduced speed.
This is in stark contrast to the Ever Forward’s cousin ship, the Ever Given, which was stuck in the Suez Canal for six days and cost global trade between $6 and $10 billion a day.
