Following the second failing attempt to refloat the 12,000 teu Ever Forward, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that, currently, the best thing to do, is a lightering operation of the containership, noting however that this revised plan could take another 2 weeks to be executed. 

Following the second failing attempt to refloat the 12,000 teu Ever Forward, the company Evergreen announced today that, with the increasing costs of the salvage operation, it had declared General Average.

The second attempt to make the Ever Forward containership refloat was in vain. Despite the weather conditions in the Chesapeake Bay, the ship salvage teams could not make the ship move.

The refloating operation of the Ever Forward, which remains stuck until this very moment, started yesterday. However, despite the efforts of the tugboats to make the container move, the operation was unsuccessful.

Today will be the first attempt to refloat the Ever Green containership that is still stuck at Chesapeake Bay. The Evergreen Marine-owned containership Ever Forward ran aground in Chesapeake Bay after departing the Port of Baltimore Seagirt Terminal 2 weeks ago. 

A week after the initial incident after the Ever Forward ran aground in Chesapeake Bay, the Evergreen Marine-owned containership remains stuck and could take another seven days for it to refloat and move from this position. 

The Ever Forward still remains stuck at the Chesapeake Bay. WK Webster, a marine and transit claims consultancy, noted yesterday that professional salvors have been appointed by shipowners on commercial terms in order to assist the refloating operation.

Until this moment the containership remains stuck while media around the world take great interest in the accident.
