A Maryland state pilot guiding the 1,095' containership Ever Forward was distracted by his cell phone use before the vessel ran aground March 13 in Chesapeake Bay, according to a Coast Guard report on the incident. The Hong Kong-flagged Evergreen Marine Corp. vessel was heading south from the Port of Baltimore to Norfolk, Va., with 4,964 containers on board, when it grounded outside the Craighill Channel near lighted buoy 16. The Maritime Administration announced in November the historicappointment of Rear Adm. Joanna M.Nunan (Coast Guard, Ret.) as the first woman superintendent of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, N.Y. Nunan, who spent more than three decades in the Coast Guard, has commanded units at every level both afloat and ashore. |
