Petite in collision with container ship on Thimble Shoal Channel
The Coast Guard was working with local response agencies and the Virginia and Maryland Pilots on Apr 15, 2014, after receiving a report of the collision between the "MSC Charleston" and the "Petite" in the Thimble Shoal Channel and was responding to several subsequent reports of ships dragging anchor in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The rig vessel and the container ship reportedly collided due to severe weather in the main ship channel at approximately 7:30 p.m. There was no initial report of damage, pollution or injuries to either vessel, and both were safely anchored pending a Coast Guard investigation.
