A large container ship lost propulsion near New York Harbor late last week and required the assistance of tugboats to safely anchor, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to The National Desk .
The ship, APL Qingdao, was in the busy Kill Van Kull shipping waterway when it reported a loss of propulsion around 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Tugboats escorting the vessel brought it to a stop near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, according to the Coast Guard. “The vessel regained propulsion and was assisted to safely anchor in Stapleton Anchorage, outside the navigable channel just north of the Verrazzano Bridge, by three towing vessels," a spokesperson said.
After repairs to the ship’s propulsion system, officials determined it once again met necessary safety requirements. The ship then left the harbor early Sunday.
