More than 48 hours after the collapse of the Key Bridge, dozens of vessels from as far away as Asia are still scheduled to arrive at the Port of Baltimore, according to maritime AI company Windward.
As of Thursday morning, 59 vessels were headed toward the Port of Baltimore, up from the 54 vessels as of Wednesday afternoon. Most of those ships will need to be diverted to other East Coast ports due to the collapsed bridge, Windward said.
The new tally includes 15 service vessels and one military/law vessel, according to Windward. The number of service vessels scheduled to arrive in Baltimore has increased, likely to help with the cleanup, according to Windward.
Baltimore is the leading US port for vehicles, the import of sugar and second in the nation for coal exports.
Most of the vessels headed toward Baltimore are coming from Europe, followed by South America, the Middle East and several from Asia, according to Windward. Logistics firm Freightos previously said seven container vessels were scheduled to arrive in Baltimore through Saturday.
