The first cargo ship passed through Baltimore on Thursday after a bridge collapse. The Balsa 94 passed through the 35-foot channel heading for St. John, Canada. The dry cargo ship coursed through the canal with the help of two tugboats following in front and behind the vessel. It passed a fallen bridge and the grounded container ship Dali.
Due to the accident that occurred 4 weeks ago the movement of cargo ships through the canal was completely suspended. The port of Baltimore is one of the main ports, so the authorities immediately began to take decisive action. The government opened a temporary channel for commercial ships to avoid severe economic damages.
