The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse impacted cruises and cargo shipments. Here's how.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse has impacted travel in Baltimore – including cruises and cargo shipments. Carnival Cruise Line had to temporarily move its Baltimore operations to Norfolk, Virginia as the Baltimore Harbor has been closed to marine traffic – which could cause up to a $10 million monetary loss for the company. The company's ship, Carnival Legend, was scheduled to return to Baltimore on Sunday, March 31, but guests will instead go to Norfolk.

CBS News reached out to several cruise companies for comment. The bridge collapsed around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday when a cargo ship, called the Dali, lost power and crashed into one of the bridge's columns. The ship made a mayday call ahead of the crash and first responders were able to prevent cars from driving onto the bridge, but eight construction workers were on the structure pouring concrete.
