Containership Runs Aground in Chesapeake Bay

[Sherman A1]

A 1,095-foot containership has run aground in the Chesapeake Bay, near Craighill Channel in Maryland.

The U.S. Coast Guard said it is working with Maryland Department of the Environment to coordinate the refloating of containership Ever Forward, after its watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National Capital Region received the initial report of the grounding at 9 p.m., Sunday. The ship had just left the Port of Baltimore and was en route to Norfolk, Va.

No injuries, pollution or damage to the vessel have been reported.

The Coast Guard has issued a safety marine information broadcast to mariners in the area stating that a safety zone will be in place during salvage operations.

The Ever whatever that ran aground in the Suez Canal?

2. there are two types of captains....

Those that have run aground, and those that will.

The chessie is notorious for shoaling and underwater hazards. It is not unexpected from time to time.

Still, the ship had to be waaaay outside of marked shipping channels. They are kept deep and safe.
