This time the ship, called the Ever Forward, is stuck in the Chesapeake Bay.

The Ever Given, a massive cargo ship, captured imaginations around the world when it blocked the Suez Canal for nearly a week in 2021. In 2022, there's a new ship making headlines for blocking another channel — and it also belongs to Evergreen Marine Corp. The Ever Forward is stuck in Craighill Channel of the Chesapeake Bay.

Ever Forward container ship, owned by Evergreen Marine Corp, sits grounded in the Chesapeake Bay, near Maryland, U.S. March 13, 2022. Picture taken March 13, 2022. The ship was on its way from Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia, Maryland-National Capital Region Sector Commander Capt. David O'Connell said, according to CBS Baltimore.

The Ever Given was stranded almost exactly one year ago. The skyscraper-sized ship was wedged across the canal's southern single-lane on March 23 and its grounding halted billions of dollars a day in maritime commerce, the Associated Press reports.
