The Port of Baltimore hopes to unblock its shipping channel by the end of May, according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The channel has been closed since a container ship struck the Key Bridge on March 26, killing six workers. The closure has impacted supply chains, but shipping companies have adapted well. The US Army Corps of Engineers initially estimated a reopening by May 10, but warned of potential delays due to weather and the complexity of the cleanup. Efforts are underway to remove the vessel and debris, with the goal of restoring normal operations by month's end.
