In response to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, Tradepoint Atlantic (TPA) has provided a comprehensive update on the ongoing operations aimed at restoration and recovery efforts.
While vessel traffic beyond the Francis Scott Key Bridge remains temporarily suspended due to channel clearing efforts, TPA’s marine terminal stands resiliently open. Throughout the recovery process, cargo berths have been fully operational, facilitating the acceptance of previously scheduled arrivals. Additionally, the terminal has expanded its capacity to accommodate redirected cargo, ensuring minimal disruption to supply chains.
Redirected cargo continues to stream into Tradepoint Terminals as collaborative efforts with state and federal partners intensify debris clearance. TPA remains steadfast in its commitment to accepting redirected cargo, thereby aiding in the maintenance of the supply chain and the reinstatement of commercial activities.
Over the next fifteen days, Tradepoint Atlantic anticipates the arrival of six regularly scheduled roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) vessels alongside nine redirected vessels. During this period, a significant quantity of 10,000 automobiles will be unloaded and processed with the assistance of ILA’s Local 333.
As previously announced, extensive efforts including the deployment of crews, floating cranes, barges, and vessels have been initiated to remove wreckage from the Patapsco River. A designated five-acre facility within TPA has been cleared to serve as storage and processing space for the recovered bridge material.
TPA continues to maintain close coordination with the Moore administration, local elected officials, and shipping companies to address the logistical concerns impeding the smooth operation of the Port of Baltimore.
