Cargo ship STUCK and blocking Egypt's Suez Canal

[deepdraft1]

When I worked as a field surveyor for ABS, more than half of the ships I surveyed were not US flag.

It's also not that unusual for US flag ships to be classed by DNV/GL or Lloyds Registry.. I believe some of the APL US flag ships are classed by DNV.

Class matters more than Flag when it comes to ensuring the safety of a vessel.

Class matters more than Flag when it comes to ensuring the safety of a vessel.

And the integrity and safety competency of the operator matters more that both Class and Flag.

Timely. My last year spring students who spent a week on this current event were discussing it today. One even mentioned another canal blockage. All of them could remember details and could list supply chain issues. I was so happy and proud of them learning from a real time event that initially they thought didn’t have any effect on them.

And you’re right @StPaulDad, dad is not going to be happy.

Well this didn’t age well….a year later, another Evergreen ship stuck. This time in the Chesapeake Bay.

DS confirms Mids have seen it, on YP’s.

I'm sure that's where my front door and windows are. The ones I ordered a year ago.

The ship's name is Ever Forward? Maybe they should pick a new name for a ship that is grounded

Yeah, she's been aground there for almost two weeks just outside the Craighill Channel between buoys R-14 and R-16.. She was drawing 13 meters [42.5 ft.] when she took the strand in an area where the water depth is about 20 ft. They're working on trying to get her free by dredging around her. They might have to wait for spring tides on the 16th of April to pull her out of the mud. Not good, but at least she's not blocking the channel up to Baltimore..
