TL;DR Summary

A 1,145-foot-long container ship, APL Qingdao, lost propulsion in New York's harbour near the Verrazzano Bridge, reminiscent of a recent deadly incident in Baltimore. The ship was assisted by towing vessels and safely anchored outside the navigable channel. After repairs, it departed for Norfolk, Virginia. Unlike the Baltimore tragedy, where the Dali container ship lost power and collided with a bridge, causing fatalities, the APL Qingdao did not lose power, and no casualties were reported.
