The head of a supply chain management company says Americans should expect shortages of goods as the Baltimore bridge collapse affects ocean container shipping and East Coast trucking logistics.
A container ship as it rests against wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, as seen from Dundalk, Md. The ship rammed into the major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to collapse in a matter of seconds and creating a terrifying scene as several vehicles plunged into the chilly river below. “It’s not just the port of Baltimore that’s going to be impacted,” said Ryan Petersen, CEO of Flexport.
But according to the shipping information system Equasis, a more recent examination of the ship, called the Dali, did not identify any deficiencies. “We’re going to rebuild that port together,” Biden said in brief remarks from the White House, shortly before departing for North Carolina. “At this time, we have no other indication, no other reason to believe there’s any intentional act here,” he said.
The Federal Highway Administration rates bridges on the condition of their individual components. In a national bridge inventory released in June, inspectors rated the Key Bridge’s deck, substructure and superstructure — or the component that absorbs the live traffic load — as satisfactory. In 2021, a longshoreman in Savannah, Georgia, sued Synergy when he tumbled 5 feet on a gangway whose handrail collapsed, injuring his back and shoulder.A fourth case, involving a worker at the port of Houston who was pinned underneath a stack of metal pipes he was trying to remove, was dismissed.Six people remain unaccounted for after the bridge collapse, and all are believed to have been working on it at the time, officials said.
