The Maryland Board of Pilots has decided to enact a rule change that forbids on-duty pilots from using their phones after the Coast Guard determined that a distracted pilot’s cell phone use contributed to a container ship grounding.
In March of last year, the container ship Ever Forward near Baltimore in the Chesapeake Bay failed to make a turn in the Craighill channel and ran hard aground on a mud flat, where it remained stuck for more than 35 days. The Coast Guard accident investigation report in late October determined that a “causal factor” contributing to the accident was the pilot’s inattention while on his cell phone, including sending texts, making a series of phone calls, and drafting an email while the ship was underway.
On Sunday, a crowd gathered to watch the examination and burial of the carcass of a beached humpback whale in the sand in the beach at Atlantic City, NJ. It was the second whale to come ashore in the city in the last month.
