Wow, to hear about it here on Easter morning!

The “Ever Forward” is finally moving forwArd! If it’s under the bridge, it’s indeed on the move.

I bet their insurance premiums have risen.

[rktman]

Thanks goodness for sea level rise and glow-bull warming eh?

[Flick Lives]

Ever (Mostly) Forward

Dozens of containers ships pass through there every month. Why did they get stuck? Were they outside the dredged channel?

[csvset]

The cause has yet to be determined or if it has , has not been made public.

[drSteve78]

Why did they get stuck?

Someone wasn’t paying attention. It’s not as if suddenly an iceberg appeared.

[Starboard]

Good questions. State licensed pilots are used to guide foreign vessels safely into and out of Baltimore. Don’t know if one was onboard at the time or not.

Helps to have a full moon to affect the tides.

[drSteve78]

There will be those that claim a failure of equipment. And that’s just like saying an SUV crashed itself . That only happens, on a hill, when no one is inside, and a universal joint breaks.

There is a person or persons at fault.

Ran aground according to this site. No clue if it’s reliable...

This YT video helps explain what occurred but not how it came about..

Ever Forward - April 17 Refloat Scheduled | What's Going on With Shipping?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Ever Green got stuck in the Suez Canal.

Ever Forward got stuck in Chesapeake Bay.

Coincidence? Same company? What's the next Ever ship to get stuck?

[chief lee runamok]

"What's the next Ever ship to get stuck?"

Ever Stuck

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL...yeah!

Equal Opportunity staff at the helm.

Ever Forward stuck in Chesapeake Bay. Ever Given stuck in the Suez Canal. Evergreen shipping just ought to name all their ships Ever Grounded.

[gunnut]

There was a pilot aboard but have not been able to find more than that.

[PGR88]

Don’t know if one was onboard at the time or not.

Someone else posted a very good youtube video from a channel "What's going on with shipping."

the narrator mentioned the ship had both a Baltimore harbor pilot and a Chesapeake Bay pilot on board. somehow the ship got slightly outside the main channel, but there was no explanation of that.
