🚢 Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Federal Channel Fully Restored June 10, 2024: Fort McHenry Federal Channel Reopens to Full Operation On March 26, 2024, the container ship Dali collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, causing the 1.6-mile long bridge to collapse into the water. The Port of Baltimore, which ranks ninth in the United States, handled 52 million tons of international cargo valued at over $80 billion last year. The accident resulted in the port being closed for at least a month, causing an estimated economic loss of $28 million to Maryland and leading to congestion and increased transportation costs at other East Coast ports, including New York. Since the collapse, crews under the Unified Command have worked tirelessly to clear the wreckage and remove the Dali from the Federal Channel. On June 10, the Unified Command certified the riverbed as safe for transit after removing debris down to the 50-foot mud-line. The full restoration of the Fort McHenry Federal Channel between June 8-10 marks a significant milestone in recovery efforts. As shipping activity increases, transportation officials, truckers, and port operators are collaborating to ensure that the port and the surrounding Baltimore area are prepared for the surge in traffic, according to a news release from the White House. #BaltimoreBridge #jctrans #logistics #Maritime #shipping #port #freightforwarders

After nearly two months since the Dali cargo ship crashed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key bridge, the vessel was refloated and pulled free of the main channel. Our thoughts remain with the friends and families of the six road workers who lost their lives in the incident, and also with the ship’s crew that’s remained onboard for more than 60 days with no firm timetable on when they can leave. Baltimore’s bridge is expected to cost nearly $US2 billion and be completed by late 2028. The Port of Baltimore is among the top 20 ports in the USA by tonnage and number of containers handled, and the 10th largest port for dry bulk, so the disaster’s impact caused a ripple effect on top of those immediately impacted through to the state of Maryland (with the potential loss of hundreds of millions in GDP and value of goods and services) and globally across sectors like automotive, manufacturing and energy. As devastating as these events are, disruption often is the norm for global logistics and we do our best to stay on the front foot when it comes to communication and our commitment to service.
