Great link, Greg. Bay Pilot onboard.

https://chesapeakebaymagazine.com/container-ship-aground-outside-patapsco-river/

Lehmann tells us the vessel is outside the navigable channel. The Bay pilot aboard had control of the ship at the time it ran aground. Investigators are still looking at whether it was a mechanical issue or operator error that caused it to leave the channel.

Based on Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, Benhoff says it appears the ship failed to turn into the designated channel, whether by mechanical or operator error.


AIS track everything.



Thanks again.
