It sounds like the Trident pier itself may have been beached/grounded. The ability of the US military to execute JLOTS at this location on an ongoing basis has really been called into question. This just isn't a good system for delivering aid by boat.

He says this as someone with decades of experience as a merchant mariner and one who has participated in these sorts of JLOTS exercises.

Also, World Central Kitchen has a functional jetty which they used twice to deliver barges of aid at the same place where the US is doing their JLOTS. Maybe just switch to using the jetty! You know...the stationary structure which doesn't need anchor cables and which isn't subject to being driven off by wind and waves?
