Thanks, Mr Sal Mercogliano, for the updates, have been following this story ever since Ever Forward was stuck in the mud and you are the sole window for latent updates on this issue. Good job. Wish the vessel gets back in the channel as early as possible.

Hi Sal! I just wanted to say thank you for your videos! On Wednesday, myself and a partner had to do a mock news conference for a strategic Comm class in which we represented Evergreen in this situation. Honestly couldn’t have done it successfully without your help!

[kylesmith]

I will be excited to see your new video of your operations. Thanks for doing that. Proud to support such great content.

Just missed your live stream. But I am so grateful for your take on events. I have no formal connection to this whole world of shipping, but am completely fascinated. Greetings from Israel.

Love your videos, learn a lot … thanks 😊

They are not being used as traditional hopper barges. Material is offloaded at Poplar Island through pumps. Not dumped as you stated.

Dale Pyatt dredge with the 60 Cubic Yard Clamshell is back on the scene of Ever Forward as of 5AM 3.26/2022.

Economies of scale. The reason vessel size has increased. Great job Sal. Support Jones Act.

[greggb]

Yes, we have “the authorities” not putting out information, or at least minimal information…, then the U.S., Coast Guard comes out with a statement that the ship will be out by this weekend…? Really…? WTF…!
Glad you came on live today,
Thank you sir.

Home office tour: Excited to hear about that ketch in the drawing.

[arthayday]

Well it cut off at 34:55 minutes for me but, from what I got to see was great info.

In new Zealand we still cart our 20 and 40 ft containers on trucks from the port to there destination to unload love ya vids chur chur from tauranga new Zealand 🇳🇿

Love your videos! Question…Since clamshell dredges cannot move the mud UNDER the EF how could EF pivot if the keel is still wedged in
the bottom?? I don't get it. Thank you, Sal, and greetings from Miles River, St Michaels, MD! 👋

Thank you so much for the knowledgeable explanations on this grounding. With the size of ships ever increasing I imagine these groundings will be happening more often. Do you know if any Boskalis/Smith equipment is under way to the Ever Forward?
