Originally Published 1 year ago — by CNBC
The process of removing shipping containers from the Dali, the cargo ship that struck and collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, has begun and is expected to take weeks to complete, with the goal of reopening the Port of Baltimore for marine traffic. Unified Command, comprising various agencies, is overseeing the removal of approximately 140 containers to lighten the vessel so it can be refloated and moved. The debris and vessel removal are crucial for restoring normal capacity access to the port by the end of May.
