Lawyers' group slams govt for using 3Rs to justify use of Sedition Act, reminds Pakatan of its previous standA view of the Dali cargo vessel which crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge causing it to collapse in Baltimore, Maryland March 26, 2024. — Reuters picLONDON, March 26 — At least 10 commercial ships that were sailing to the US port of Baltimore have dropped anchor in waters nearby, data from ship tracking and maritime analytics provider MarineTraffic showed today.

A container ship smashed into a four-lane bridge in the port today, causing it to collapse and sending cars and people plunging into the river below.The vessels that anchored included container and bulk carrier ships that were signaling their destination as Baltimore, the MarineTraffic data showed.Baltimore port’s private and public terminals handled 847,158 autos and light trucks in 2023, the most of any US port.

The port also handles farm and construction machinery, sugar, gypsum and coal, according to a Maryland government website. “While Baltimore is not one of the largest US East Coast ports, it still imports and exports more than one million containers each year, so there is the potential for this to cause significant disruption to supply chains,” said Emily Stausbøll, market analyst at Xeneta, an ocean freight shipping rate benchmarking and intelligence platform.
