"We are focused on bringing that measure of comfort and closure to the families. There is no timeline because of how complex this operation is," he said.The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has to survey the damage before it will consider moving the ship, which is called Dali. Maryland authorities said that an initial survey found that the hull of the ship was damaged but still intact, which may make it easier to move when the debris clears.

Moore said this would happen by opening secondary pathways using what he said is the largest operational crane on the East Coast and can carry over 1,000 tons. "One of the most important costs is going to be for business interruption, for all the ships that got stuck in port that can't get out, the ones that can't get in, all the goods that are being delayed traveling around the world,"
