Wonder how long it'll be before they put up a replacement bridge. Looking at maps, it's a long away around.

If the U.S Army is on the case, not long.

Baltimore are sayIng ‘partial’ damage. If that’s partial then I’d hate to see what is more than that.
And Sky News are saying ‘some damage’

I get the feeling I’ve read this before.

Have you got any of that Bailey bridge crap?

Question for the shipping experts.

Regarding vessels now stuck within the harbour, would they considering unloading these and ship the containers by road/rail to another port and reload them to a different vessel? Or would they sit it out hoping they might get part of the channel cleared in a month or two even if the Dali is still stuck there.

I am playing catch up. Did they manage to rescue any of those poor souls that fell into the water?

Stop reading the Express.

FBI were there incase it was a terrorist attack which has been ruled out (obviously)
however look as the disruption and monitary cost this will have. Seems an easy way crash a big ship into a bridge to cause massive repair bills and long term disruption?

That’s exactly what will happen.

Similarly any cargo for that port will have to go into other ports & be transhipped.

Every single person in the world will feel this event, be it via cost of goods, delays of products, cost of insurance etc etc.

Thanks.
I guess there are some in the insurance industry that are bracing themselves for a bum fking of epic proportions.
