Baltimore aftermath: Port of NY/NJ expects cargo spike, not ship call increase

Container ships have begun calling at Baltimore’s terminals, one month since the suspension of vessel traffic at the port following the Key bridge collapse.

After a month since the Baltimore bridge collapse, the first commercial vessels have started to move out of the Port of Baltimore via newly opened 35-feet channel.

A third alternate channel has been established near the Francis Scott Key Bridge, estimated to accommodate approximately 15% of pre-collapse commercial activity.

Baltimore initiates legal proceedings following the Key Bridge collapse, focusing on Dali stakeholders for accountability.

The decision to declare general average indicates that the owners of Dali expect the salvage operations to result in extraordinarily high costs.

NTSB has asked for additional assistance from Hyundai, the manufacturer of equipment in Dali’s engine room, as part of the investigation into the Baltimore bridge collapse.
