BRUISED BALTIMORE

The accidental destruction of the critical Francis Scott Key Bridge has rendered the Port of Baltimore unusable indefinitely. The Port is the 11th largest by container imports with 559,000/year 20-foot equivalent units. LA/Long Beach is tops at 8.2 million, then NY/NJ at 4 million, and Savannah at 2.4 million. Supply chains will manage, Baltimore will suffer. The Port directly employs 15,300 and generates $3.3 billion in personal income.
