(Reuters) – The Ever Forward container vessel is grounded at Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore. This comes nearly a full year after another vessel owned by the same company had blocked the Suez Canal for six consecutive days.

Evergreen Marine Corp Taiwan Ltd operates the container ship, which is the same Taiwanese transport company that owns the Ever Given. Last March saw the Ever Given run aground in the Suez Canal. This canal is one of the busiest and most important waterways on the planet and also the longest shipping route between Europe, Asia and Europe.

According to Breanna Centeno, Petty Officer Third Class Breanna Centeno, the Coast Guard was notified Sunday that Ever Forward had been grounded. They are now performing checks every 4 hours to make sure the safety of all marine life and crew.

Coast Guard officials say the vessel isn’t blocking traffic from other containers ships and that it is not in the way of any canal.

Evergreen Marine representatives could not be reached immediately for comment.
