Evergreen Marine Corp has once again turned to Dutch salvage expertise to rescue its latest container ship to run aground.
The Taiwanese shipowner has called in Donjon-Smit to free the 12,118-teu Ever Forward (built 2020) that ran aground on Sunday.
The salvage company is a joint venture between Donjon Marine Co and Smit Salvage Americas, a subsidiary of the Netherlands-based company responsible for ending the six-day saga of the 20,338-teu Ever Given (built 2018) grounding in the Suez Canal in March 2021.
