Officials were working to free a container ship owned by Evergreen Marine that ran aground near the US capital over the weekend. The incident comes one year ago to the month after another one of the company’s container ships, the Ever Given spent a week stuck in the Suez Canal, causing a massive maritime traffic jam that impacted global trade. The 1,095-foot container vessel, known as the “Ever Forward,” has been stuck since Sunday night, when it tried to head from Baltimore to Norfolk, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

The Irish road haulage industry has warned that disruptions and obstructions from new customs and imports controls at Irish Sea ports post-Brexit will have “catastrophic consequences”.

Irish Road Haulage Association president Eugene Drennan said the next four weeks will be “a period of unprecedented disruption for the movement of goods”.

The disruption new border checks at ports will cause to the transport industry will be “immense” and have “the capacity to bring the licensed haulage industry to a standstill”, he said
