, the Coast Guard told CBS News. The 1,100-foot ship has been wedged for more than a month near a shipping channel by Baltimore.
"If you ever been in a marsh, and you've stepped in the marsh with your boot, and then you try to pull it out and your foot comes out, but not the boot. Kind of the same thing on a grander scale here," Coast Guard Captain David O'Connell said. Ever Forward's owner, Evergreen Marine Corporation, is removing 500 of the nearly 4,900 containers on board to lighten its weight."In order to speed the offloading process, a total of four barges, have now been engaged in the efforts. These receiving barges are transferring offloaded containers back to Port of Baltimore," Evergreen said in a statement.
Environmental groups say the dredging of the bay could have already had consequences on aquatic life.
