  • Almost a year after the Ever Given ran aground in the Suez Canal and disrupted global shipping, another Evergreen ship gets stuck in the mud but this time in the Chesapeake Bay after departing Baltimore.
    Last year the QAnon followers practically swarmed on the topic alleging that the ship was owned by Hillary Clinton. We had a really good time in the comments back then.

      Evergreen has one of the biggest fleets in the world, though, so they probably don't have much of a problem if you only hear about two strandings in two years, and you only hear about the second one because of the notoriety of the first. This year's would have made 30 seconds on the local news, if that, normally.

    Unlike the Ever Given incident this grounding in within view of thousands of waterfront homes in a densely populated area. Our house is 20 mi. south on the western shore of the bay. Can't quite see it from here. Another piece of bad news: the tidal range here is less than one foot. I'm pretty sure they will have to do significant unloading to get her free. The accident will likely be investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board. I have worked with them a couple of times before. They are very thorough but not quick. I will be several months before we get a report as to what happened on the bridge.

      Well she would have had a pilot aboard here, though the same could be said for the ever given. Based on where she is and the channel layout its like she made it halfway thru her southerly turn, she's not straight across from the channel she was turning out of like I'd expect if she had completely failed to turn but she didn't make it all the way around which is only about 20 degrees. The wind was out of the north and not overly strong so it shouldn't have been an issue, and not one that would have made a southerly turn problematic. Itll be interesting to find out what happened as she made half the turn so it couldn't have been a total loss of rudder control short of it failing in the middle of the turn and swinging back to straight ahead, the difference between the depth in the channel and outside it is very significant throughout the bay so if she had a navigational error I would think she'd have had issues before even getting to the turn, one thing I would be curious about is if there was other traffic that forced her to avoid collision as it is a busy area for both commercial and recreational boats some of which have no idea what the rulesmof the road are let alone vessels that are RAM. Not sure if running over a sailboat instead of hitting a shoal at12 knots would be the right call but could be a potential cause. That said though, while the master would have final say there was a pilot on board as well so its not necessarily all on Evergreen.

    As a licensed Captain ,I know that area well . It's not really mud but sand/ oysters bars. To get her released they should have attempted to free her 2 days ago. Heavy rains 2 " and release of water from the conawingo dam with the aid of tugs. To run aground there is just a sign of poor navigation training. The ships pilots. Damage to local oyster beds and marine life. One small saving they didn't hit the bay bridges.

      To be clear:
      Pilots are not _employed_ by the ship (shipping co.)
      Pilots are _paid for_ by the ship (shipping co.)
      The master (captain) retains responsibility for the ship in all piloting situations except the Panama Canal.
      Pilots are also held accountable for accidents.
      The dramatic increase in ship sizes has brought a commensurate reduction in margin for error. The bitter, unforgiving irony is that large ships are both less maneuverable and less responsive. (I.e. harder to change course and longer to effect any change)
      Net: unless there's a dramatic increase in dredged channel dimensions, look for regular news stories about these grounded behemoths.

      As for responsibility, yes, in theory, the master is responsible for their ship. However, in practice, the whole reason a pilot is needed is that the ship's crew does not have the local knowledge necessary to safely navigate in the pilotage area. Unless the pilot is doing something very obviously wrong, the ship's crew basically has to trust the pilot's judgement, and this is always taken into account in accident investigations.

    Long ago there was a questionable practice (not very common though - fortunately) to clean the ship bottom from shells by humping the vessel over a sandbank. Pretty delicate operation all and all, and required vessel in ballast only, a well known spot and a reckless captain.
    When successful, the vessel speed and fuel economy had a measurable improvement. When stuck, too bad.
    Method not that much used today - I hope.

    Chief, will you please post the tracking of the Ever Forward close up with the channel marked before she ran aground. She's far off the channel on a bottom in 24 feet of water on a mud bottom at ten knots and currently her draft is 13 meters although her draft on the hull read 11 suggesting she rode up 2 meters as the bottom compressed. There is speculation that she never attempted to make a turn in the channel and burrowed her way in the mud making it difficult to remover her. Steering issues because I doubt that people on the bridge would allow that to happen. The coast guard is estimating a week to ten days to get here off the bottom. Thanks

    She stuffed it hard, gonna be a real project to get her out and more than just lightening. I'm not too far and have the digital charts and her GPS position, in just over 500 feet it goes from 50 feet depth in the channel to under 20 feet, and the (Belvidere) shoal comes up to a 16 foot depth at its top less than 1000 feet from the channel. Even empty shes gonna be hard aground in the mud and time is just going make that mud get tighter and harder to pull out of. With such a steep change in depth there's going to be a measurable difference in just the length of the hull but on my digital chartplotter her position is right on the 18 foot depth curve which for a ship with a 42 foot draft is pretty rough. The bow is probably only showing 11 meters because its shoved up on the shoal but even at that the bow would be on the most shallow end so potentially in less than 18 feet or just under 6 meters of water. Expect a long operation to get her out, I don't think just removing weight is going to be enough to let tugs pull her out so possibly needing dredging or other help and the Chesapeake Bay is a very strictly controlled body of water from the ecological side so lots of red tape before any of these different operations are started. One other factor to note is that there's almost no big swing in tides that far up the bay with about a one foot swing yesterday with the full moon which means there's no opportunity to use a moon tide to gain a little bit of extra water depth. So basically refloating her will probably be vastly worse than the Ever Given but less impactful because she isn't blocking traffic.

    I sailed the Chesapeake Bay, the shipping channel is 700 feet wide, very clearly marked and muddy bottom is dredged to a depth of 54 feet. The tide would only give her about a two foot assist if she grounded at low tide. If she was leaving Baltimore, she would not be fully loaded, and the Chesapeake mud is sticky so it will some serious off loading to float her if she hit the mud at ten knots.
    Unless there was a mechanical failure with the steering gear, then a Maryland state licensed pilot, who makes $400,000 a year, caused the grounding. However, the Capitan of the ship is ultimately responsible as he has the authority to countermand a pilots orders if they endanger the ships or crew.

    • @HorstTampert
      @HorstTampert 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The way vessel owners insure there vessels, varies per shipping line. I'm not sure to be honest, how these incidents, such as with the Ever Grande and Ever Forward, effect the insuring of this class of ships. From my understanding, a local pilot was in charge of Ever Forward when it ran aground. The vessel itself will be insured and so will the goods but there are many exceptions in place that shift responsibility to the actual cargo owners. Some of the cargo owners who have goods on board Ever Forward will have plenty of reason to be worried, especially if they have not insured their shipment or haven't arranged for proper insurance. Under Marine Law, the cargo owners who don't have insurance, will be liable for the economic damages caused by the vessel running aground. There is a complex formula in place to calculate how much each shipper must pay (before goods are ultimately released to them or their client). A shipper who has a small shipment worth only several thousand dollars on board Ever Forward, can still end up with a big unexpected bill to pay, that exceeds the value of the goods big time. Abandoning the shipment to avoid paying the bill, is often not the solution since the claim will remain intact.

      The ability to declare general average like they did with ever given is a huge loophole to shift the financial burden for their screw-ups onto the shippers. It seems pretty backwards since they have no input on the operation of the vessel. Like if you ordered something from Amazon and they wanted you to chip in because the delivery driver they hired crashed his van into a street light. I think its a relic from the days when any voyage across the ocean was a long, arduous, and risky endeavor.
