Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after the 10,000 container-capacity vessel Dali collided with a bridge pillar. Rescue efforts are underway.

Logistics providers are urgently working to update clients on the status of their imports and exports, after the Port of Baltimore was shut down.

"These diverted volumes will impact the ports of New York/New Jersey, Norfolk and the Southeast and we have to prepare trucking and transload capacity to get that freight to its intended network," Brashier said.The 10,000 container-capacity vessel Dali was on its way out of the Port of Baltimore in the early hours of Tuesday morning, heading to Colombo, Sri Lanka when it collided with a bridge pillar.

Breaking out the trade, $23 billion of the port's total $55.2 billion of imports in 2023 were autos and light trucks. Around $4.8 billion of the port's exports were motor vehicles. "This will have an impact for trade all along the East Coast and it will continue until we know how quickly" the port can re-open, said Richard Meade, editor-in-chief of the shipping journal Lloyd's List.

Lipow said jet fuel and diesel fuel supplies would likely be unaffected. But these diversions will all create additional costs in both shipping and trucking once the re-routing is done. "The alternate ports will also be used for arriving imports," said Levine, of Freightos."These should be able to handle the extra volumes, though re-routing could lead to some congestion or delays for importers, potentially impacting freight rates on the Asia-U.S. East Coast and transatlantic routes."Asia-U.S. East Coast shipping rates are already elevated, due to diversions away from the Red Sea after months of Houthi attacks on international shipping vessels.
