Just mere days after a cargo ship lost its propulsion in Baltimore, causing it to crash into and collapse the Francis Scott Key Bridge, another cargo ship lost power near New York's Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge over the weekend.

The New York Post first reported on the incident when it said that the US Coast Guard's Vessel Traffic Service New York first received a report from the M/V APL Qingdao at around 20:30 ET on Friday, Apr. 5 (00:30 UTC Saturday, Apr. 6) that it lost its propulsion in the Kill Van Kull waterway. 

"The vessel regained propulsion and was assisted to safely anchor in Stapleton Anchorage, outside of the navigable channel just north of the Verrazano Bridge, by three towing vessels," the Post reported the Coast Guard said.

According to maritime journalist John Konrad's tweet, the Qingdao—owned and operated by the French shipping company CMA CGM—weighs 89,000 tons and requires tugboat escorts to reach safety. 

According to its website, CMA CGM operates a fleet of 620 vessels and 257 shipping lines in 420 of the world's 521 commercial ports.

The ship was quickly repaired, and she eventually left New York Harbor on Sunday (Apr. 7).

Representatives for the New York Port Authority, the Coast Guard, and CMA CGM did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
