🚢 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.

🚢 Port of Baltimore Operations Restored! We are thrilled to share that after an 11-week operation by multiple agencies, the Port of Baltimore is fully back in action! The 700-foot-wide and 50-foot-deep channel is now clear of all debris from the March collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, meaning unrestricted two-way maritime traffic can resume. T   For us, this means a return to normal #drayage operations, allowing us to seamlessly transport #containers between port terminals and inland destinations without restrictions. This reopening comes as a relief for our business, including our drivers who serve the Port of Baltimore, and the thousands of others impacted by the partial closure, which caused significant logistical disruptions and economic impacts. We can't thank enough the tireless teams who worked round the clock to restore safe operations for this critical maritime gateway.    With the port back at full capacity, we are gearing up for a surge in activity. Major shippers, like automakers, are already rerouting shipments back through Baltimore. As a key entry point for cargo bound for the Upper Midwest and East Coast markets, the port's reopening will provide a boost to regional supply chains and commerce. Our CPG team is ready to support the increased volumes and meet our customers' transportation needs. We look forward to playing our part in rebuilding economic momentum through the Port of Baltimore. While challenges remain from the bridge incident, this milestone represents a big step forward for maritime trade in the Northeast region. #trucking #baltimore #logistics #transportation https://lnkd.in/gPu98C8x

Supply Chain on Fire! The recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area have cast a significant shadow over the bustling Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, pivotal hubs in the global supply chain. In September 2024, the Port of Los Angeles celebrated a milestone, handling a record-breaking 954,706 TEUs—a staggering 27% surge from the previous year. But the flames brought a wave of disruption. Terminal closures, cargo delays, and restricted access to key roadways have turned the tide, challenging the port's ability to sustain this impressive growth. Before the fires, the port was already grappling with prolonged on-dock rail dwell times, averaging nearly eight days—double the optimal timeframe. Now, these delays have only deepened, putting further strain on supply chain schedules and highlighting the fragility of our interconnected logistics networks. As the region works to recover, the resilience of the shipping industry will be put to the test. Stay tuned as we monitor the ongoing impacts and navigate through these challenging waters. #LAFires #SupplyChainCrisis #ShippingIndustry #PortOfLosAngeles #GlobalTrade #Logistics #TEU #CargoDelays #Resilience #PortOperations #WildfireImpact #TradeRoutes #RailFreight #LosAngelesPorts
