The Ever Given’s sister ship is finally free after being stuck in Chesapeake Bay for more than a month

A container ship, named Ever Forward, was finally freed on Sunday after being stuck for more than a month. Evergreen, the container shipping company that owns the ship, that the Ever Forward was refloated after multiple attempts. "The Ever Forward was successfully refloated by salvor who has been working closely with the US Coast Guard, competent authorities of the State of Maryland, and local service providers to remedy the ship's grounded status in Chesapeake Bay," the statement said. The ship was refloated by two barges and five tugboats. Unlike its sister ship, the Ever Given, which last year in the Suez canal for a week that disrupted the global supply chain, the Ever Forward ran aground outside the main navigation corridor. The Baltimore Sun reported that once refloated, the ship was weighed down by water tanks to ensure safe passage under the Chesapeake Bay bridge, . The company said that after underwater inspections, the ship will travel to the Port of Baltimore and reload the cargo that was discharged when it got stuck, and it will resume its previously scheduled voyage. The 1,096-foot Ever Forward is a Hong Kong-flagged vessel, which had been traveling from Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia. The
