Nearly a year after the Suez Canal was closed, the Evergreen cargo ship runs aground in Chesapeake Bay.

The United States Coast Guard is developing a plan to safely refloat a 1,095-foot container ship owned by Evergreen Marine Corp. that became stranded in the Chesapeake Bay on Sunday night.

This comes nearly a year after Evergreen Marine's container ship Ever Given became stuck in the Suez Canal, obstructing one of the world's busiest trade lanes for about a week and affecting global supply networks.

When the container ship Ever Forward grounded leaving Baltimore on Sunday, it was allegedly carrying general goods and was on its way to Norfolk, Virginia. The ship is not currently obstructing the Chesapeake Bay's navigational channel, according to the Coast Guard.

According to a press release from the USCG 5th District Public Affairs, the vessel is being monitored daily for "possible pollution."
The Ever Forward's crew has been instructed to monitor for potential pollution and report any noticeable changes in stability, draft readings, vessel position, or signs of an oil discharge, according to the release.

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is enforcing a 500-yard safety zone around the vessel to ensure the safety of the marine environment during ongoing salvage operations.

According to the Coast Guard, the refloating of the container ship and an investigation into how it became grounded are being coordinated by the Coast Guard and the Maryland Department of the Environment.

Evergreen Marine Corp., the vessel's operator, has been contacted by CNN for comment.
