Baltimore bridge collapse: fears of disruption to global supply chains. Marine traffic to and from the Port of Baltimore has been suspended since Tuesday.
Last year, the port handled a record 52.3 million tons of foreign goods, worth $80 billion. This port handles the largest volume of automobiles in the United States, with more than 750,000 vehicles passing through it in 2023. The collapse of the bridge caused shipments to freeze. More than 40 ships remained inside the port, unable to leave, reports Reuters.
