After three weeks stuck in the Chesapeake Bay, the massive container ship Ever Forward still isn’t free. Despite the ongoing dredging and tugging, the ironically named ship has yet to budge, so officials are moving on to plan B — unload the Ever Forward’s nearly 5,000 shipping containers to refloat the vessel.

The Ever Forward, a 334-metre (over 1,095 feet) container ship, trapped itself in the Chesapeake Bay in March, a year to the month its cousin, the Ever Given, blocked the Suez Canal in Egypt.

The Hong Kong-flagged Ever Forward ran aground on March 13 after departing the Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The ship was en route to Norfolk, Va. Read more: Ongoing supply issues expected to drive prices higher: Bank of Canada survey On Monday, the U.S.

New Jersey recreational marijuana sales expected to begin 'within weeks,' report says
(Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images) TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey officials have given approval to seven companies to sell recreational marijuana to adults meaning sales could start within weeks, according to The New York Times. The move comes more than a year after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question to legalize adult use of the drug.Early last year, Democratic Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation to set up a recreational marijuana marketplace. At the time of the signing, Murphy explained that by establishing a recreational marijuana marketplace, the economy statewide would flourish as new jobs would be created.On Monday, New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission, made up of five members, gave seven medical-marijuana companies final approval to start selling their products to all adults, according to NYT. The development makes New Jersey only the second state on the East Coast to fully authorize cannabis sales to all adults. The seven companies are permitted to begin selling recreational cannabis for adult use as soon as each company pays more than $1 million in fees associated with the expanded licenses and meets other requirements to obtain the license. ___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS APPSUBSCRIBE: Good Day Digest Newsletter | FOX 29 Philly on YouTubeAdvertisementFOLLOW: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
