The U.S. Coast Guard is working on a plan to safely refloat a 1,095-foot container ship operated by Evergreen Marine Corp. that grounded in the Chesapeake Bay Sunday night.
This comes nearly a year after the container ship Ever Given, also operated by Evergreen Marine, became grounded in the Suez Canal, clogging up one of the world's most vital trade arteries for nearly a week and disrupting global supply chains.
The container ship Ever Forward is reportedly carrying general cargo and was on its way to Norfolk, Virginia, when it grounded leaving Baltimore on Sunday. According to the Coast Guard, the ship is not currently obstructing Chesapeake Bay's navigational channel.
