First container ship MSC Passion II arrives since Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse

BALTIMORE : The first container ship has arrived at the Port of Baltimore a month after the cargo ship Dali lost power and rammed a support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, leading to the collapse of the structure into the Patapsco River and killing six construction workers.

The Port of Baltimore posted on X that it had “another milestone” on Sunday after the first container ship arrived at Seagirt Terminal since the collapse.

MSC Passion II came through the “35-foot-deep temporary channel,” the port said. “Nearly 1,000 containers handled by about 80 (International Longshoremen’s Association Local 333) workers. We’re getting there.”
