Vessel owned by same company that blocked the Suez Canal last year
A fully loaded cargo ship is still stuck in the Chesapeake Bay.
“On Sunday March 13, at approximately 9 p.m., we received a call from the vessel, the Ever Forward, stating that they had run aground,” Coast Guard Public Affairs Specialist Petty Officer 3rd Class Breanna Centeno, told The Epoch Times. “We do not know the reasoning as to how it happened, however once the vessel is refloated, we are going to do an investigation to figure out possible causes.”
The vessel, owned by Evergreen Marine Corp., is currently in water just 24 feet deep.
It was leaving Baltimore, Maryland, and headed to Norfolk, Virginia. The vessel is carrying general dry cargo and although the Coast Guard does not know exactly what is in the containers, it was able to confirm the cargo is not made up of hazardous materials.
