THE sister ship of the Ever Given, which ran aground in the Suez Canal last year (CW 30 Mar 2021), has herself run aground in an American harbour.
The Ever Forward (perhaps a better name might be Ever Stuck!) ran into trouble in Chesapeake Bay, a year after her sister blocked the Suez in Egypt.
Officials are now scrambling to refloat Forward, after she got stuck on Sun night as she began a trip to Norfolk.
The United States Coast Guard said it did not know what had caused the stranding, which did not lead to any injuries, or harm the vessel.
Fortunately, Ever Forward’s grounding is not likely to cause as much trouble as last year’s crisis, as it is not stopping other ships from transiting to the port.
Other ships in the area have been told to slow down, and Evergreen Marine Corporation’s other captains are now certainly on notice!
