Subject: | UPDATE: Baltimore - Key Bridge Incident | Date: | Wednesday, April 17, 2024 | Priority: | Normal | Notice: |
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Good day,
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Please note below received from our Baltimore Sub Agent, Capes Shipping:
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Please note below updates as of 0815 hrs April 17th, 2024:
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Salvage and container removal operations are still in progress. Container transfer will continue in the coming days, weather permitting.
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">As of April 11, approximately 38 containers have been removed. Salvors continue to remove containers from the M/V Dali as part
of the effort to gain access to the portion of the Key Bridge that lies atop the ship.<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#333333;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;mso-ligatures:none">USACE expects to open a limited access channel 280 feet wide and 35 feet deep, to
the Port of Baltimore by the end of April
USCG has advised that the transit consideration process will be the same for all vessels.<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#333333;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">USACE engineers are aiming to reopen the permanent, 700-foot-wide by 50-foot-deep federal navigation
channel by the end of May<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The Captain of the Port (COTP) has established two temporary alternate channels for commercially essential vessels: the Sollers
Point Temporary Alternate Channel is located on the northeast side of the main ship channel and the Hawkins Point Temporary Alternate Channel is located on the southwest side of the main ship channel. Both are in the vicinity of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
This action was part of a phased approach to opening the main federal channel.
These temporary channels are marked with government lighted aids to navigation and will be limited to transit at the discretion of the COTP and during daylight hours only.
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Due to updated surveys and waterway user feedback, these channels have had aids repositioned to facilitate transits through best water.
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The updated approximate locations of aids to navigation can be found in Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and in the near future found in the USCG Light List/Local Notice to Mariners.
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The
Sollers Point Temporary Channel has a controlling depth of 11 feet, a 264-foot horizontal clearance, and vertical clearance of 95 feet.
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The
Hawkins Point Temporary Channel has a controlling depth of 14 feet, a 280-foot horizontal clearance, and vertical clearance of 124 feet.
Currently, it is uncertain how long port movements will be suspended. Prolonged delays are expected due to the magnitude of the situation.<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Local Pilots have advised that vessels currently anchored at Annapolis are
not movement restricted and are able to sail, provided that USCG and USCBP formalities are completed with each respective agency.<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Local Pilots have advised that Tradepoint Atlantic Terminal is currently
not movement restricted. The channel to TPA berth(s) is outside of the USCG Safety Zone presently in effect, subject to change.
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">We will pass on information concerning resumption of vessel movements as soon as it’s provided to us by the U.S. Coast Guard, Maryland Pilots and port authorities.
In the meantime, please find the below current Sector Maryland NCR port condition update:
Sector Maryland NCR:<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none"> Port Condition:
Closed
<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:yellow;mso-ligatures:none">Effective immediately a safety zone is established for all navigable waters of the Chesapeake Bay within a 2000-yard
radius of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The 948-foot Singapore-flagged vessel DALI struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, 2024.

<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">As advised, the timeline for resuming regular port operations uncertain and determined basis the information available by local authorities, and we expect this incident will
affect port traffic for some time. Therefore, prospective berthing for future vessels is very unclear.
