In a WJZ exclusive, Ava-joye Burnett joined the US Coast Guard for a closer look at the Ever Forward, a massive container ship that has been stuck in the Chesapeake Bay for nearly a week now.

Why does this same company keep getting stuck?

[billywolf]

We are about to see what's been hidden

[mineplow]

Accident? Hmmm...
My tinfoil hat senses are tingling!

[tynettelima]

Did anyone search it to be sure it's not a Trojan Horse full of explosives?

[jwarmstrong]

Commercial size Flex Tape is on the way for leak protection

[expectvacancies]

Same company as the Suez Canal, who are these people hiring??

[juju]

Bay pilot was aboard. Wonder if there was a mechanical failure that took out the steering.

[markthompson]

So why is no-one asking why did it go out side the shipping channel?

[j.c]

Sieriously.. this is far from the first ship being stuck. You start with either unloading the containers, getting pumps to blow water to move the dirt away while tugs pull or you drive some steel sheet piles to hold back the mud and then blast the mud away.

[anyopp]

It will not take weeks… it will be months

[localtrailtrampjacklumber]

They are naming their newest ship “EVERSTUCK”

[johnprather]

I don't know what's going on but if you notice there are cargo ships all around the United States they're off the coast of California all around in the Atlantic all the way up from to and North up to Chesapeake Bay and there was Chinese fishing boats off the coast of California what's going on

[alixp]

You said ever forward but the ship says something else. Am I missing something?

[SamhainBe]

Who's going to pay for all this? As a Marylander, I'd like to know.

[tellybriggs]

This is why mega business shouldn’t exist wow look at the Suez Canal and how much that cost the global economy this is done on purpose just look at the freight rates

[glassontherocks]

Unload the bastard where it sits. What's the problem? What's in the boxes???

[JPlum]

Atleast its not the ever given that would be hell the same ship with bad luck

[sharonwells]

Why don't they unload freight onto smaller load ships?. Why take a chance on refused freight due to delayed delivery and/or ruined freight from bad storage. Dampness from water?

[Sommers]

Distracted driving is a beatcha. So how about off loading the fuel, if possible.

[aussiedave]

Just unload it until it floats, it's not rocket science.
It's about the cost, that's why it is still there.
