Port of Baltimore Closure

 

Clean up efforts are underway to remove the wreckage from the collision of container vessel Dali into the Francis Scott Key Bridge earlier this week. The initial priority is the removal of debris from the water to aid the search and recovery of the remains of construction workers. The focus then shifts to removing the large cargo ship followed by the removal of bridge pieces.

 

The Port of Baltimore handles the largest volume of vehicles and farm equipment in the country. Vessel traffic into and out of the port has been suspended indefinitely. Truck operations remain active. Delays can be expected for all cargo with a final destination of Baltimore as shipments are re-routed to nearby ports.

 

The port is urging the pickup of import containers destined for Newark and Norfolk sitting in Baltimore terminals to assist with the flow of containers.

 

Reopening the waterway for shipping is top priority but the timeline is yet to be determined.

 

DGX is actively working in assisting with the planning and booking of alternative transportation and routes for our customers impacted by the port closure. Our thoughts are with all the individuals affected by this lamentable situation.
