In an age of excellent charts and GPS it can still be wise to engage a good pilot.
The Dale Pyatt has a diesel-electric design, making for easier operation than with typical friction controls. The crane, spud winches, and walking spud all can be controlled from the operator's cab using two joysticks, enabling CASHMAN to achieve significantly higher production without increasing personnel or support equipment, and in turn reducing overall production costs. In addition to the vessel's unmatched production, CASHMAN achieved unprecedented environmental compliance with the Dale Pyatt. The dredge was the only dredge in the United States to be fully EPA Tier 4 Compliant. It also uses double-walled fuel tanks and carries enough fuel for about a month of operations.
The dredge took its maiden voyage in October 2013.

“The cause of the grounding is unknown.”
I’m gonna guess not enough Gorebal Warning.
It is bugging me that I keep seeing “Craigshill Channel” when it should be “Craighill Channel.” Saw it in one article initially, and now it seems to be proliferating.
"FUEL CAPACITY 6,700 U.S. Gallons"
Why are they calling it “Ever Forward” when it says “EVERGREEN” on the side?
They did the same with “Ever Given”

That plimsoll line is pretty high up in the water! Do you suppose all those containers all filled with ping pong balls and corks?
Will we get enough global warming and sea level rise this fortnight to lift her up off that mud flat?? Tides?

Was the crew off watching March Madness? Spanish Soccer? Messed up hcked up GPS?? (This would not suprise me!) Did someone move the channel markers?
Very odd to my landlocked eye!
Chesapeake Bay is very shallow, isn’t it? I read a sad story about a gal who dove into it and broke her neck. The I remembered a sign at one of the rest areas that said it’s only about 6 feet deep in some places.
