First Container Ship Arrives at Port of Baltimore Since Bridge Collapse

The arrival marks a significant step in restoring maritime operations, with the port managing nearly 1,000 containers through a temporary channel.

The MSC Passion III, the first container ship to dock at the Port of Baltimore since the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, utilized a 35-foot temporary channel.
Four temporary channels have been established to facilitate maritime traffic while salvage operations continue at the collapsed bridge site.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers aims to reopen the main 700-foot wide, 50-foot deep shipping channel by the end of May.
Recovery efforts for the collapsed bridge have led to the removal of 1,300 tons of steel, with ongoing searches for two missing workers.
Community leaders and the public have been honoring the six workers killed in the collapse, with memorials growing and official statements of remembrance.
