Easter morning, two pulling barges, two tugs from Donjon-SMIT, the appointed salvor, two tugs from Moran, and two tugs from McAllister worked in tandem to push and pull the Ever Forward free during a high spring tide. That website has now been repurposed for the Ever Forward.The Ever Forward containership was refloated early Sunday morning following a 35-day-long salvage operation in Chesapeake Bay that tested the capability of East Coast maritime response assets. The last time something like this happened was last year a ship owned by the same company, the Ever Given, got stuck and blocked the Suez Canal in Egypt, and that disrupted billions of dollars a day in global trade.Дuring the Suez fiasco last year,, went viral, along with hundreds of Ever Given memes. The Evergreen Line determined that its shareholders would have to proportionately share the losses associated with the Chesapeake Bay debacle under a maritime law known as вЂњgeneral average.вЂќДЄs of now, the ship has remained stable and shown no signs of pollution, but the Coast Guard and responders are continuing to monitor the ship. Five tugboats couldnвЂ™t get the ship moving forward, so the next day, they tried seven tugboats. Two weeks ago, crews made their first refloat attempt after a week of dredging. The Department of the Environment said thatвЂ™s about 27 barges worth of mud.

вЂ“ Container removal began April 9, 2022, as part of the Ever Forward boxship refloat operation in Chesapeake Bay. Once the containers are removed, tugs and pull barges will attempt another refloat.Д¬ranes take containers off the Ever Forward container ship in Pasadena, Maryland, on April 13, 2022, as the cargo ship sits in the Chesapeake Bay after it ran aground near Baltimore. The offloading happens only during the daytime for safety reasons.

When the offloading is complete, crews will try again to tug the ship out and refloat it. вЂњThe hopes weвЂ™re looking towards probably like Sunday, Monday, if everything goes well.вЂќ вЂњWeвЂ™re about 65 percent, roughly, through the offload process,вЂќ said Jeoffrey Donahue, director of emergency preparedness & planning at the Maryland Department of the Environment.

Officials told WJZ Friday that 320 containers have been removed from the ship, and they hope to have the rest off by next week.
