Gradual Recovery! Container Ship Finally Passes Through Baltimore Port

On April 27th local time, a small container ship arrived at the Port of Baltimore in the United States through a temporary channel, marking the first cargo vessel to reach the port since the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge over a month ago.

On April 28th, a container ship named "MSC Passion III" arrived at the West Jetties Marine Terminal of the Port of Baltimore.

According to the Port of Baltimore's social media page, the container ship, flying the flag of Liberia (MSC Passion III), has unloaded its cargo at the port, with around 80 dockworkers unloading nearly 1000 containers. The Port of Baltimore referred to this as "a new milestone!"

In the early hours of March 26th, the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after being struck by a container cargo ship, the "Dali."

Following the collapse of the bridge, the sole channel for vessels entering and exiting the Port of Baltimore was severed, threatening to shut down the port.

The Port of Baltimore, established even before the founding of the United States, has long been an economic pillar for Baltimore and the surrounding areas. The bridge collapse not only affected the port itself but also disrupted crucial shipping lanes along the East Coast.

Since the accident, the state of Maryland has been working diligently to restore port operations. Currently, 1300 tons of steel bridge components have been recovered from the channel, and four temporary channels have been opened. On April 26th, the first stranded cargo ship was successfully escorted out of the port.
