UPDATE 15: Unified Command opens limited access deep draft channel<span-size:30.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
Thursday, April 25, 2024<span-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">This press release is available in Spanish at

<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">BALTIMORE – The Captain of the Port established a fourth channel, the Fort McHenry Limited Access Channel, which will
run the length of the northeast side of the federal channel, and provide additional access to commercially essential traffic.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Ubuntu",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The Limited Access Deep Draft Channel, has a controlling depth of 35 feet, a 300-foot horizontal clearance, and a vertical clearance of 214 feet, and will facilitate
some larger deep draft vessels, large marine tugs, and MARAD vessels through the Port of Baltimore. Infographic courtesy of Key Bridge Response 2024 Unified Command.<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The limited access deep draft channel has a controlling depth of a minimum of 35 feet, a 300-foot horizontal clearance, and a vertical clearance of 214 feet. Additional restrictions
for transits are outlined in MSIB
043-24, including weather limitations which may impact the transit window.
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Starting Monday, April 29, operations to remove the M/V DALI will require suspension of transits through the Fort McHenry Limited Access Channel. Once deemed safe, the channel will
reopen for commercial traffic.<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">"We're working to strike a balance between enabling temporary access to support commercial activity and undertaking necessary measures to fully reopen the Fort McHenry Channel,"
said U.S. Coast Guard Capt. David O'Connell, Captain of the Port and Federal On-Scene Coordinator, Key Bridge Response 2024. "This limited access deep draft channel will provide a window for five of the deep draft vessels currently unable to depart the port
as well as some smaller deep draft vessels to transit. Meanwhile, the Unified Command personnel continue to work full speed ahead to safely and efficiently finish operations."<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The current 2,000-yard safety zone around the Francis Scott Key Bridge remains in effect and is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative.<span-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">
