by Jessica Babb, Tiffany Watson, WBFF Digital Team

BALTIMORE, MD (WBFF) — With the Federal Channel in the Patapsco clear, Governor Wes Moore and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, held a press conference Wednesday announcing the full reopening of the Port of Baltimore.

"I've been waiting a long time to say this, Maryland, the Fort McHenry Channel is cleared and the Port of Baltimore is open for business!," said Governor Wes Moore.

Moore said more than 50,000 tons of bridge wreckage was pulled from the water, and there were no injuries to salvage crews or first responders during the clean-up effort.

"Today didn't just happen, we made it happen," Moore said.

Moore said during the clean-up effort, the state approved about $37 million in relief for businesses and workers, and protected thousands of jobs.

Jonathan Daniels, the executive director of the Maryland Port Administration said with the Port fully reopened, more cargo is beginning to come back to Baltimore. He said much of the cargo has returned, however, he said there was still a lag in some of the imports that were redirected.

"Many operators were handling as much cargo in the final weeks of May that they would typically do in an entire month," Daniels said. "It's great to be able to see that."

Daniels said more people are also beginning to come back to work. While he didn't have exact numbers, he said gate transactions were up, which was a positive indicator. While it's not clear how much the Port has lost, Daniels said there will be a period of recovery.

"It's going to take a while and the imports are going to lag. We look at this as a temporary blimp that was significant and put us out of operation for almost three months."

Looking ahead, the MDTA is accepting proposals to rebuild the bridge. A design team should be selected later this summer and construction could begin in 2028.

"I will not be satisfied until I see the Key Bridge standing tall again," Moore said.

Governor Moore is also working to secure federal funding through legislation in Congress, to make sure the entire cost of rebuilding the bridge is covered. FOX 45 asked Governor Moore if Maryland is prepared to pay their portion of the bill should the federal legislation not pass. Moore said the focus was on getting that legislation passed.

Mayor Brandon M. Scott

You are here, mayor scott statement on usace timeline to reopen port of baltimore channels, thursday apr 4th, 2024.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BALTIMORE, MD (Wednesday, April 4, 2023) — Today, Mayor Brandon M. Scott released the following statement regarding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers preliminary timeline to reopen channels in the Port of Baltimore following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

"This evening’s announcement by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that they’ve outlined a tentative timeline sends a strong message to the City of Baltimore and our entire country. Some of the best engineering minds in the world and our most important resources have been made available for this critically important project. That would not have been possible without the close coordination and swift action within every level of government, from President Biden and our congressional delegation to Governor Moore and all of our partners at the local level.

"While this timeline is ambitious and dependent on a number of factors, setting this goal is critically important for those families that are still waiting to bring loved ones home and the thousands of Baltimoreans and Marylanders who rely on the Port. This timeline makes our mission to support the workers and businesses impacted in the interim all that much more important, to ensure they get what’s needed between now and the channels opening.

"I want to thank the Unified Command and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for keeping the safe reopening of the federal channel their top priority. We are going to continue working every single day to make this happen and bring our City back stronger than before the same way we’ve done everything – together."

Engineers clearing collapsed Baltimore bridge say limited-access channel to port to open in 4 weeks

The u.s. army corps of engineers announced a “tentative timeline” thursday, by lea skene • published april 4, 2024 • updated on april 4, 2024 at 10:10 pm.

Engineers working to clear the wreckage of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore said Thursday that they expect to be able to restore navigation in and out of the Port of Baltimore by the end of this month.

The bridge collapsed within seconds on March 26 after being struck by the cargo ship Dali , which lost power shortly after leaving Baltimore, bound for Sri Lanka. The ship issued a mayday alert with just enough time for police to stop traffic, but not enough to save a roadwork crew filling potholes on the bridge. Authorities believe six workers plunged to their deaths in the Patapsco River; two bodies have been recovered so far. Two others survived.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced a “tentative timeline” Thursday, saying in a news release that it expects to open a limited access channel to the port within the next four weeks measuring some 280 feet wide by 35 feet deep (85 meters by 11 meters). The channel would support one-way traffic in and out of the port for barge container service and some vessels that move automobiles and farm equipment to and from the port.

The USACE said it is aiming to reopen the permanent, 700-foot-wide by 50-foot-deep (213 meter by 15 meter) federal navigation channel by the end of May, which would restore port access to normal capacity.

“A fully opened federal channel remains our primary goal, and we will carry out this work with care and precision, with safety as our chief priority," Lt. Gen. Scott Spellmon, USACE commanding general said in the news release.

Spellmon acknowledged the timelines are “ambitious” and may still be impacted by adverse weather or “changes in the complexity of the wreckage.”

The announcement came on the eve of a scheduled visit by President Joe Biden, who is to view the collapse site and meet with relatives of the victims Friday.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden also will receive an operational update from U.S. Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers officials.

On Thursday, Isabella Casillas Guzman, who heads the U.S. Small Business Administration, visited Baltimore to meet with business owners, along with state and local leaders. Guzman said a federal program offering loans to small businesses hurt by the bridge collapse has received 500 applications so far.

Businesses involved in transportation and supply chain logistics will likely suffer most in the short term, she said, but long-term ripple effects will be widespread.

“It’s a full range of impact,” she said following a roundtable discussion at an office in Baltimore that was opened in recent days to assist business owners affected by the collapse.

Baltimore’s port handles more cars and farm equipment than any other similar facility in the country, and the disaster has created logistical problems up and down the East Coast.

The Maryland Senate unanimously approved a bill Wednesday night authorizing the governor to use the state’s rainy day fund to help unemployed port employees. That sends the bill to the Maryland House, which could approve the bill this week.

The Norwegian shipping firm Wallenius Wilhelmsen, which has a hub in Baltimore, said it estimates its own losses at between $5 million and $10 million from the port closure. One of its ships is among several currently stuck in Baltimore’s harbor.

Second channel opened allowing some vessels to bypass wreckage at the Baltimore bridge collapse site

Crews are working to clear the steel wreckage and recover the remaining bodies, something made even more difficult by recent bad weather. They have opened two temporary channels meant primarily for vessels involved in the cleanup.

But the water is so murky that salvage divers can’t see more than one to two feet in front of them, Gov. Wes Moore said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. Each diver is now paired with an operator who uses three-dimensional drawings and other tools to guide them in a “buddy system,” he said.

U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath said there are seven commercial vessels stuck in the port with their crews on board. The ships will not be able to leave until a temporary channel is opened that is deep enough for them to get out.

Cruise ship operations to resume from Baltimore later this month, port confirms

Cruises from Baltimore will resume later this month.

Royal Caribbean International’s Vision of the Seas will leave from the city on May 25. That will mark the first cruise ship to do so since the March collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge , the Port of Baltimore said in a Facebook post .

Vision of the Seas will sail a round-trip cruise to Bermuda, according to CruiseMapper . Royal Caribbean previously moved the ship’s operations to Norfolk, Virginia in the wake of the bridge collapse.

“Royal Caribbean International looks forward to returning to the Port of Baltimore once again,” a spokesperson told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. “Vision of the Seas will set sail on a 5-night itinerary as planned on Saturday, May 25 after completing its previously scheduled drydock in the Bahamas.”

Carnival Cruise Line also expects to return this month.

Carnival will embark guests on Carnival Pride’s May 19 cruise in Norfolk, but anticipates it will end the trip in Baltimore.

“We are encouraging our guests to register for our complimentary bus service between Baltimore and Norfolk for the sailing's embarkation,” spokesperson Matt Lupoli said in an emailed statement. “We remain in close contact with local, state and federal officials regarding the return of our operations at the Port of Baltimore.”

Follow WTOP’s latest coverage of the Baltimore  Key Bridge collapse and ongoing recovery efforts

After weeks of suspended vessel traffic within the Port of Baltimore, cruise lines are announcing their return and planning new trips out of the area . It’s another sign of progress after the Key Bridge was destroyed by a cargo ship that lost power and crashed into it in March.

In a blog post, Royal Caribbean International said that its “Vision of the Seas” ship will sail out of the Port of Baltimore on Saturday, May 25. That’s nearly two months from when the Key Bridge was hit, sparking a closure at one of the country’s biggest ports .

Vision of the Seas is embarking on a 5-night trip to Bermuda and back. But while it’ll be the first cruise ship to leave out of Baltimore, it might not be the first cruise ship to bring passengers back from the paradise.

This weekend, the Carnival Cruise Line ship “Pride” is due to leave Norfolk for a 7-night trip to the Bahamas. But at the moment, the Pride is scheduled to return to the Chesapeake Bay and keep going past Norfolk, docking back in Baltimore.

While sailing out of Norfolk, passengers could be transported by bus from Baltimore to Norfolk, which is about a 4-hour trip.

Carnival has maintained a presence in Baltimore for years, but at the time the bridge was damaged it was only sailing one ship out of Maryland, minimizing the impact the bridge collapse had on cruises.

CBS News Travel Editor Peter Greenberg told WTOP that cruise lines normally operating out of the busy Baltimore port could see hundreds of thousands of passengers annually. The collapse pushed cruise passengers into ports in Philadelphia, Brooklyn or Bayonne, New Jersey .

Plans to allow recreational vehicles to enter and travel through the Port of Baltimore’s safety zone were confirmed by Maryland officials last week.

Baltimore cruises to reroute after bridge collapse pauses port traffic

Carnival, Royal Caribbean will move some operations to Norfolk while Baltimore recovers from Key Bridge collapse

Cruise lines are scrambling to make alternative plans and avoid the Port of Baltimore while officials suspend vessel traffic amid cleanup and rescue efforts around the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

Three major cruise lines sail from Baltimore, though no ships were in port Tuesday morning. The next cruise was scheduled to depart Sunday, but its operator confirmed late Tuesday afternoon that the voyage would instead head out from Norfolk.

Amira M. Hairston, a spokeswoman for the Baltimore port, said in an email that the status of the upcoming cruise ship schedule is not yet known.

“At this time we do not know how long vessel traffic will be suspended. As soon as that is determined we will provide an update. Until then please keep those involved in your prayers,” Hairston wrote.

Royal Caribbean International’s Vision of the Seas left Saturday for a 12-night southern Caribbean cruise with plans to return April 4. The cruise line said in a statement Tuesday that it was “closely monitoring the situation, and our port logistics team is currently working on alternatives for Vision of the Seas’ ongoing and upcoming sailings.”

On Thursday, the cruise company said the current sailing would end in Norfolk.

“Our guests on board will be provided compensation and complimentary shuttle transportation as well as Wi-Fi and phone calls to adjust their travel arrangements,” Royal Caribbean said.

Upcoming cruises on April 4 and 12 will sail from Norfolk as well, and passengers will be compensated for the change. The ship was already scheduled for maintenance in the Bahamas after the April 12 cruise.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragedy and collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and extend our heartfelt prayers to all those impacted,” the company said.

Carnival Legend set off Sunday for a seven-day Bahamas cruise; the ship was scheduled to return March 31 and depart for its next sailing the same day. Instead of coming back to Baltimore, Carnival said late Tuesday, it will end its trip in Norfolk, and free buses will bring passengers back to Baltimore.

The ship’s next seven-day cruise will leave Norfolk and return to the port. In a news release , Carnival said it would temporarily move Baltimore operations to Norfolk “while Key Bridge rescue and cleanup efforts continue.”

“Our thoughts remain with the impacted families and first responders in Baltimore,” Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said in a statement. “We appreciate the pledge made by President Biden today to dedicate all available resources to reopen Baltimore Harbor to marine traffic as soon as possible. As those plans are finalized, we will update our future cruise guests on when we will return home to Baltimore, but in the meantime, we appreciate the quick response and support from officials in Norfolk.”

Carnival Pride is supposed to start sailing from Baltimore next month, mostly to the Bahamas and eastern Caribbean.

Norwegian Cruise Line does not have cruises scheduled out of the port until later this year. American Cruise Lines, a U.S. river cruise operator, has Chesapeake Bay trips on small vessels scheduled from Baltimore starting in May. The cruise line said it will monitor developments “and make adjustments if needed.”

Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) said it was “deeply saddened” by the bridge collapse and was closely following the situation. “Right now, the most important thing to do is to allow the emergency workers to do their work,” the group wrote in a statement.

This year, 12 ships are scheduled to make a total of 115 calls at the Port of Baltimore, the industry association said. With room for roughly 2,000 or 2,100 passengers at double occupancy, most Baltimore-based ships are much smaller than the record-breaking behemoths that sail from Florida ports.

“Any adjustments to current cruise activity at the port will be announced as soon as available by the individual cruise lines,” CLIA said in its statement.

A news release issued last month by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s office said that more than 444,000 individuals cruised out of the Port of Baltimore last year, the most since 2012. The Maryland Port Administration said in a news release last year that the cruise industry generates nearly 400 jobs and $63 million in revenue every year for local businesses.

The port positions itself as a convenient option for cruising year-round, thanks to its location off Interstate 95 and plentiful parking. More than 40 million people live within a six-hour drive of the city, the port administration says.

Rebuilding: The bridge, built in the 1970s , will probably take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild , experts said.

Royal Caribbean, Carnival will cruise out of Baltimore for first time since Key Bridge collapse. Here's when.

By Adam Thompson

Updated on: May 17, 2024 / 7:56 PM EDT / CBS Baltimore

BALTIMORE - Royal Caribbean and Carnival are getting ready to set sail out of the Port of Baltimore as the first cruise departures from the port since the March 26 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

The Port of Baltimore announced that the Vision of the Seas, owned by Royal Caribbean, will embark on a five-night voyage on May 25 from Baltimore to Bermuda.

The Carnival Legend will depart out of Baltimore on May 26.

"Baltimore is back," the Port of Baltimore posted on social media.

"We are extremely grateful to the officials and incredible first responders in Baltimore, who've shown great leadership and resolve in this difficult time, as well as our supportive partners in Norfolk, whose rapid response allowed us to continue to deliver our scheduled sailings for our guests," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "It's been our goal to resume operations in Baltimore as soon as possible, and after working closely with local, state and federal agencies, we look forward to a successful return."

Get ready…Port of Baltimore is ready to cruise once again! @RoyalCaribbean 's Vision of the Seas will depart on May 25 for a 5-night trip from Baltimore to Bermuda! This marks the 1st cruise leaving Baltimore since the bridge incident. Baltimore is back! https://t.co/XEguEqqTOR pic.twitter.com/v7dLcDpLmA — Port of Baltimore (@portofbalt) May 15, 2024

The cargo ship Dali crashed into Baltimore's bridge in late March, killing six construction workers, halting access to and from the Port of Baltimore and knocking down the entire bridge.

The Port of Baltimore services cruise ships from Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian.

A Carnival spokesperson told CBS News the company expects a less than $10 million impact on both adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as well as its adjusted net income for the full year 2024.   

In April, a Carnival cruise ship was expected to return to Baltimore, but after the Key Bridge collapse, it ported in Norfolk, Virginia.

Regina Ali, a spokesperson for AAA, was on that Carnival ship when the cargo ship caused the bridge collapse.

"I'm looking and I'm like, 'Wait a minute, this is in Maryland and it was so surreal,'" Ali said. 

Since then, cruise ships originally slated for Baltimore took off and  returned in Norfolk.

Baltimore cruise port: A guide to cruising from Maryland

For cruisers in the mid-Atlantic states who don't want to take a plane before embarking on their itinerary, the cruise terminal in the Port of Baltimore is an incredibly convenient place to begin your journey. But if you are flying, it's also only a 15-minute drive from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). According to data from the Maryland government, in 2023 more than 440,000 passengers departed from the Port of Baltimore.

Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line are the big names in Baltimore, each homeporting a ship there year-round. Vision of the Seas and Carnival Pride sail to destinations including Canada and New England, the Bahamas , Caribbean , Bermuda and occasionally the Panama Canal .

Small-ship line American Cruise Lines sails round-trip Chesapeake Bay cruises from Baltimore, and one-way East Coast Inland Passage to and from Amelia Island, Florida. Norwegian Cruise Line offers the occasional sailing from the port, as well.

On March 26, 2024, the crash of the container ship Dali and subsequent total collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge completely closed the port to all vessels . However, on June 12, 2024, it fully reopened for operations, including cruise ships, meaning cruisers can now get back to planning itineraries from the Port of Baltimore.

How to get to the Baltimore cruise port

The Baltimore cruise port is located a few miles from downtown, but it's accessible via several different transportation methods.

Cruise line transfers

Carnival does not run a shuttle between the Baltimore airport and cruise port, but Royal Caribbean does. The price varies by sail date, and Royal Caribbean would not give TPG a price range. Larger groups can often get a better price with private transfers than cruise line ones, but check the shuttle price for your departure to be certain. If you wish to go with Royal Caribbean's transportation, you'll want to book your transfer at least two weeks in advance.

Hotel shuttles

Hotels in downtown Baltimore don't generally offer a shuttle transfer to the cruise port.

The Best Western Plus Hotel & Conference Center, 3 miles from the port, offers a Park and Cruise Package that includes free parking during your cruise and a complimentary shuttle to and from the terminal.

The Aloft BWI Baltimore Washington International Airport offers a free on-demand shuttle to the cruise port, but hotel parking is $15 per night.

Independent airport shuttles

Various shuttle operators, including Supershuttle and Blacklane, offer service from BWI to the cruise terminal. KD Elite Transportation, for example, costs $25 per person one-way. Prices for other companies vary depending on your group size and the type of vehicle needed.

Independent van/car services

You can book a private car or van via outfitters like DC Liver, BWI Shuttle Service or 95 Star Airport Sedan, Limo & Shuttle Service for your group to get from BWI to the cruise terminal.

Taxis and ride-hailing services

At BWI, taxi stands are located near doors 5 and 13 on the arrivals/lower level, just outside the baggage claim area. A cab ride to the port costs a flat rate of $30 regardless of the number of passengers, and drivers aren't allowed to add on extra charges.

App-based rideshare services at BWI pick up passengers on the outer curb of the departures/upper level, between doors 5 and 12. Use the crosswalks at doors 5, 8 and 12 to access the outer curb. An Uber will run around $30, while an Uber XL is closer to $40; premier cars and SUVs will be around $60-$75. Prices can vary depending on traffic and time of day.

At DCA, taxi stands are located just outside and to the right of baggage claim at Terminal 1, and just outside doors 5 and 6 at the baggage claim lower level. A taxi to the cruise port will cost around $150-$175.

Ride-hailing at DCA is available on the third (outer) curb of Terminal 1 and on the outer curb outside baggage claim on the first level of Terminal 2. (Select Zone 1 through 4 when you book your Uber or Lyft.) An Uber costs around $75-$100, an Uber XL can be upward of $125, and premier cars and SUVS can be $150-$200.

Baltimore's Inner Harbor is also home to two science centers for curious kids of all ages. The Maryland Science Center (601 Light Street) has sections devoted to dinosaurs, electricity, space and anatomy, as well as an IMAX theater.

Geared for the younger set, Port Discovery (35 Market Place) has three floors of hands-on activities including themed open play areas reminiscent of ancient Egypt, a diner, gas station, the wonders of water and an art studio.

Get a slice of U.S. history

A 1.5-mile or five-minute drive from the terminal, Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine (2400 East Fort Avenue) is famous for its role in the War of 1812. Soldiers at the fort defended Baltimore harbor from an attack by the British Navy arriving from the Chesapeake Bay. The large American flag that was raised to signal victory inspired Francis Scott Key to write what eventually became the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Tour and taste at a famous brewery

Love Guinness but can't make it to Dublin? Baltimore happens to be the sole U.S. location of the beloved Irish brewery. When it opened in 2015, the site was chosen because of Baltimore's geographical proximity to other big cities and Maryland's rich brewing history.

After a guided tour and tasting at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery (5001 Washington Boulevard, Halethorpe, about a 15-minute drive from the cruise port), stay for lunch or dinner in the taproom, where you can order beer cheese fries, Guinness beef stew and milk stout Smith Island cake. You'll also find brews only made here, like Baltimore Blonde and El Dorado Amber Ale.

Governor Moore Announces the Full Reopening of the Port of Baltimore

Governor Wes Moore, along with other government officials, announced the full reopening of the Port of Baltimore after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The bridge collapse led to the closure of the port, affecting thousands of workers and businesses. The reopening of the port's main shipping channel was a result of the hard work of many individuals and agencies, including the removal of debris and the restoration of the channel. The reopening of the port is a significant milestone for the economy of Maryland and the nation. Efforts are now focused on rebuilding the Key Bridge, with plans to have the project completed by fall 2028. The reopening of the port will bring back economic opportunities for the community and support thousands of jobs.

Governor Wes Moore today joined United States Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Director Tom Perez to announce the full reopening of the Port of Baltimore following the reinstatement of the Fort McHenry Federal Channel earlier this week. 

“After the bridge fell, we laid out four key directives: Bring closure to the families of the victims; clear the full federal channel and fully reopen the Port of Baltimore to vessel traffic; support everyone affected by this crisis – from our workers to our businesses; and rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge. We promised to bring each of these priorities to completion – even though success was never guaranteed,”  said Gov. Moore.  “By working together, we have achieved the first three of our four directives. But in this administration, we don’t settle for ‘almost.’ We finish the work we start. We can look out onto the Patapsco and see that the Dali is gone and the wreckage has been cleared. But I will not be satisfied until I can look out on the Patapsco River from this spot and see the Key Bridge standing tall again. That is the push. That is the promise. And by moving in partnership, we will make it reality.”

Governor Moore expressed gratitude to the men and women of Unified Command for working around the clock to quickly and safely reopen the 700-foot-wide by 50-foot-deep shipping channel to the Port of Baltimore following the March 26 collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. In only 78 days, Unified Command removed more than 50,000 tons of debris from the Patapsco River, fully restoring the channel, welcoming back global shipping businesses and cruises, and getting Marylanders back to work.

More than 1,500 people from federal, state and local agencies contributed to the reopening of the main shipping channel, including 500 specialists operating dozens of pieces of equipment.

With the full shipping channel now open, the Port of Baltimore’s economic engine is revving up to be stronger than ever. The Port of Baltimore’s public terminals directly support 8,000 workers, including longshoremen and truckers. Each day the port’s economic impact represents $192 million or more than $70 billion a year, representing 13% of Maryland’s gross domestic product.

“What happened that early morning of March 26th was horrific. What happened next was inspiring,”  said United States Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.  “As of this week the channel is open, the ships are moving, the terminals are operating, and this great American port is full steam ahead.”

“Under President Biden’s leadership, we lead a whole of government effort to open the channel and get the port up and running — in less than 100 days,”  said White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Director Tom Perez.  “This milestone is a remarkable example of what we’re capable of when we come together to deliver for America’s workers, businesses and families.”

“With the fully opened shipping channel and return of our global cargo and cruise partners, the Port of Baltimore looks forward to once again being one of the nation’s top ports, supporting thousands of jobs,”  said Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary Paul J. Wiedefeld.  “Thanks to Governor Moore’s steadfast leadership and the unprecedented collaboration within the Unified Command and among our public and private partners, we’ve brought business back to Baltimore in a matter of weeks.” 

“Today, we celebrate the complete reopening of the Fort McHenry Federal Channel in incredible time thanks to the expertise, determination and grit of the Unified Command and all of the key partners at the federal, state and local levels who have been focused on this urgent task. We also take time to mourn the six lives lost in the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. As we praise the hard work it took to bring the Port of Baltimore fully back online, we know that the families of these workers are still hurting and always will,”  said Senator Ben Cardin . “Clearing the debris and reopening the federal shipping channel, so that we can restore Baltimore’s leadership among the nation’s ports and our region’s economic engine, have been essential. Simultaneously, Team Maryland has been focused on following precedent and President Biden’s pledge that the federal government will cover 100% of the cost of replacing the bridge. We are united in this mission and will do all we can to make it happen.”  

“Today is a huge win for Baltimore, for Maryland, and for our nation. Not long ago, restoring full access to the Port of Baltimore channel seemed like a distant goal. We wouldn’t have reached this milestone without the quick release of $60 million in federal emergency funding and the tireless focus and drive of the Unified Command, which includes federal partners like the Army Corps and Coast Guard working alongside state and local agencies and our port workforce in Baltimore,”  said Senator Chris Van Hollen. “ For the rebuilding of the bridge, we have already succeeded in enrolling the project in the federal program that will pay for 90 percent of the costs, and Team Maryland is united in our determination to pass our bipartisan legislation to ensure the remaining 10 percent is also covered – so that we can restore this critical transportation artery for our economy as soon as possible. While we celebrate the reopening of the channel today, we continue to mourn the lives lost in the tragic collapse of the bridge – and we hold their families in our hearts.”

“Today, we are not only bringing the Port of Baltimore back up to full capacity by reopening the federal channel, but we are also reopening economic opportunities for the communities across Maryland and America that depend on the port. I praise Governor Moore for seeing our state through this crisis and thank Secretary Buttigieg and the Biden-Harris Administration for their continued support,”  said Congressman Steny Hoyer (MD-05).  “Our work is not finished until the Francis Scott Key Bridge towers over Baltimore Harbor once more. Now, Congress must follow through on President Biden’s promise that the federal government will cover the full cost of the replacement project, and I will continue working to ensure that it does.”

“Swiftly reopening the Fort McHenry Federal Channel to commerce has been a priority since the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and this is a crucial step toward restoring full operations at the Port of Baltimore,”  said Congressman John Sarbanes (MD-03).  “I am thankful to President Biden, Transportation Secretary Buttigieg, Governor Moore and other key partners for their leadership and dedication to clearing the channel. The Maryland delegation will continue working in lockstep to support rebuilding the bridge, restoring full operations at the port and facilitating economic recovery in our region.”

“The full reopening of our Port’s main shipping channel is a matter of national economic importance and an example of the unshakeable unity among Maryland leaders and public officials across all levels of government. I know that all who have been involved in this recovery and rebuild effort are collectively driven by the memories and spirit of those we lost in this horrific tragedy. My colleagues in the U.S. House and Senate will continue our mission to ensure the federal government fully funds this effort, in line with President Biden’s pledge,”  said Congressman Kweisi Mfume (MD-07).  “Yesterday, I appeared before the U.S. House Rules Committee in support of my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would require the federal government to fully fund the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild with the requirement that any compensation paid for damages or insurance proceeds collected be utilized to make the U.S. government whole. Rest assured, the Team Maryland Congressional Delegation will continue to pursue all potential remedies at our disposal to restore the Key Bridge.”

“The sudden collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was a human and economic tragedy that took a toll on the Baltimore region, the State of Maryland, and our nation,”  said Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01).  “Since the beginning of this tragedy, I have been clear that our efforts must focus on reopening the Fort McHenry Federal Channel and I am beyond proud of the dedicated and quick work the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers did to restore the channel back to its full operational depth.” 

“As many of us stood at the edge of the Patapsco River on March 26, the day the Francis Scott Key Bridge fell, we would have never imagined that the channel would be reopened so soon. This accomplishment is the direct result of the unrelenting dedication and grit of the Unified Command, who worked day and night to recover those lost in the collapse, clear the channel of dangerous debris, and return the Port to normal operation,”  said Congressman David Trone (MD-06). “This is news to celebrate, but we all must continue working together to ensure Marylanders don’t foot the bill for the Bridge’s reconstruction. With the support of local, state, and federal partners, we are building a stronger, more resilient Baltimore.”

“The reopening of the channel in Patapsco River where the Key Bridge once stood is nothing short of a miracle. The hard work of the women and men in the Army Corps of Engineers, the United States Coast Guard, Port of Baltimore, the Federal and Maryland DOTs, as well as our entire federal delegation, state and local elected officials led by our steadfast Governor Wes Moore is to be commended,”  said Congressman Glenn Ivey (MD-04 ) .  “Now the rebuilding begins. Much blood, sweat, toil and tears face everyone involved. But I know our team is Maryland Tough and Baltimore Strong and together we will build back better than before.”

“The reopening of the full federal channel is a major milestone, and a marker of the resiliency, grit, and perseverance of our city,”  said Mayor Brandon M. Scott.  “Every level of government and community – from the White House down to the local level where neighbors and community members pitched in to support those impacted – mobilized with incredible coordination and speed. Together, we have navigated unprecedented challenges, provided relief for those impacted by the Port’s closure, and have charted a course forward to restore the Port’s status as the economic heartbeat of the region. We did it all without losing sight of those most important in this tragedy — the Marylanders who lost their lives and their families who continue to deal with the impact. I want to thank each and every person who was a part of this effort for their contributions. The work is not done — but this period has made it clear that we’ll tackle every challenge ahead, together.”

“The reopening of the channel is a major step in getting our neighbors back to work and jumpstarting our economy as we continue our recover from this national tragedy,”  said Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski.  “Thank you to Unified Command, the Biden-Harris Administration, Governor Moore, and to all those who have worked tirelessly to get us to this moment. This milestone is a reminder of what is possible when we put progress ahead of politics and testament to our ability to overcome this – and any challenge – together.”

The Port of Baltimore is the closest port to the Midwest, providing a quick and inexpensive way for manufacturers to send and receive cargo. The Port of Baltimore also ranks number one in handling farm and construction equipment and vehicles. 

The Maryland Transportation Authority is currently accepting requests for proposals for a design-build team to rebuild the Key Bridge. A project team is expected to be selected in mid-to-late summer this year, with the entire project estimated to be completed in fall 2028.

Baltimore’s busy port fully reopens after bridge collapse

• Copy Link URL Copied!

Authorities anticipate commercial shipping traffic through the Port of Baltimore will soon return to normal levels after the channel fully reopened this week for the first time since the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse .

“They are back open for business, ready to bring in the largest container ships that call there,” U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Shannon Gilreath said during a virtual press briefing Tuesday afternoon.

Some shipping companies rerouted their cargo to other ports following the deadly bridge collapse in March. The disaster halted most maritime traffic through Baltimore’s busy port as crews worked around the clock to clear an estimated 50,000 tons of fallen steel and concrete from the Patapsco River, a roughly $100-million effort that involved federal, state and local agencies, officials said. Maryland used about $60 million in federal emergency funds to open three other smaller channels outside of the main one.

New deep-water channel allows first ship to pass Key Bridge wreckage in Baltimore

The first cargo ship passed through a newly opened channel in Baltimore after being stuck in the harbor since the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed.

April 25, 2024

Companies that steered clear of Baltimore during the cleanup efforts will likely come back now that the channel has been returned to its original depth and width, officials said. The city’s port processes more cars and farm equipment than any other in the country.

All that rerouted commercial traffic “belongs in Baltimore today,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said. “We have every indication that that is what is taking place, but we will be reinforcing that expectation as we speak with players up and down the supply chains.”

Crews were able to reopen portions of the deep-draft channel in phases, restoring some commercial traffic in recent weeks. Some cruise ships and large container ships have already passed through, officials said.

But thousands of longshoremen, truckers and small business owners have seen their jobs affected by the collapse and its economic ripple effects, which extend well beyond the Baltimore region. State officials helped establish several relief programs to keep people employed and businesses afloat in the immediate aftermath.

Officials estimated the salvage operations will cost $75 million, while the Coast Guard response has cost $24 million to date to open the main channel.

Rebuilding the bridge could cost nearly $2 billion, officials have said. They hope it’s completed by 2028.

President Biden has pledged that the federal government will cover the full cost of rebuilding the bridge, though officials said the funding is still awaiting approval from Congress.

In a statement Tuesday, Biden praised the work of everyone involved in the recovery effort to date.

“Baltimore can count on us to stick with them every step of the way, and we will continue to have your back until the bridge is rebuilt,” he said.

How will the Baltimore bridge collapse affect prices and the West Coast?

The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the closure of the Port of Baltimore this week could have far-reaching implications all the way across the country for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, according to several experts.

March 29, 2024

The cargo ship Dali crashed into a critical support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the early hours of March 26, collapsing the span and sending six members of a roadwork crew plunging to their deaths. The ship had lost power shortly after leaving Baltimore for Sri Lanka. A National Transportation Safety Board investigation found it experienced power outages before starting its voyage, but the exact causes of the electrical issues have yet to be determined. The FBI is also conducting a criminal investigation into the circumstances leading up to the collapse.

The Dali remained stuck amid the wreckage for almost two months, with a massive steel truss draped across its damaged bow. On May 20, the ship was refloated and guided back to port. That allowed officials to open a channel that was 50 feet deep and 400 feet wide, big enough for most of the largest commercial vessels.

The full federal shipping channel is 700 feet wide. Officials said two-way traffic can resume now that it has reopened. They said additional safety requirements have also been lifted because of the increased width.
