A container ship came to a halt near New York’s longest suspension bridge on Friday evening after losing propulsion, officials said.

The U.S. Coast Guard said it received a report around 8:30 p.m. on Friday that the M/V APL Qingdao had lost propulsion in the Kill Van Kull Waterway, the strait between New York and New Jersey.

The boat regained propulsion a short time later but was then towed to the Stapleton anchorage, just north of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, where it received orders to fully repair the propulsion system before it could continue on its route, the Coast Guard said in an emailed statement Monday.

According to VesselFinder.com, the APL Qingdao was built in 2012 and is registered to Triton Shipping. The company did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment. The ship departed Sunday morning and the tracking website shows the vessel should arrive in Norfolk, Virginia, on Monday morning.

After the collapse of the Baltimore bridge, expert says that short-term power outages are common

Photos taken by APL Qingdao near the Verrazzano Bridge recalled the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore after it was struck by a cargo ship nearly two weeks ago.

Clay Diamond, executive director of the American Pilots’ Association, previously told USA TODAY that power outages on cargo ships are quite common.

“Probably every pilot in the country has experienced a power outage, but it’s usually only temporary,” Diamond said of the bridge collapse in Baltimore. “This was a complete power outage on the ship, so that’s unusual. Of course, this happened in the worst possible place.”

Coast Guard spokesman Ryan Schultz said the APL Qingdao did not experience a complete power outage.

“The APL Qingdao suffered a propulsion failure that was restored a short time later, which temporarily impacted the vessel’s ability to move through the water without the assistance of the tugs accompanying it,” Schultz said in an emailed statement. “This is different from a power failure, where the vessel loses its ability to generate power for all onboard systems, including propulsion.”
