View:124Up to date! Maersk announced the resumption of bookings at the port of Baltimore
The situation at the port of Baltimore is understood to be improving. Maersk recently announced the resumption of new bookings at the East Baltimore Port.
Maersk said it plans to resume bookings at the Port of Baltimore for subsequent sailings as efforts continue to reopen the port to direct service.
For flights that are open for booking:
Maersk said booking space for TP12's transatlantic service and Baltimore outlet had not reopened. Maersk will reopen once more information is available on the conditions of the shipping lanes for ships deployed on these services.
Booking from Asia to Baltimore is accepted, subject to shipping space availability. AGAS and AMEX are now open for booking as these vessels can use the Fort McHenry Limited Access. Ships currently deployed on trans-Pacific or trans-Atlantic services cannot use the passage.
Maersk said in a statement: The situation at the port of Baltimore remains fluid and bookings are subject to space availability. The ability to dock in Baltimore will ultimately depend on the timing of the salvage and the port officially opening the port or a fourth alternative channel previously closed. If Baltimore can't be docked, ships could be diverted to another port on the East side.
Maersk said it would keep customers updated on changes to shipments to Baltimore.
The port of Baltimore is an important port on the east coast of the United States. Crews in the US state of Maryland have reportedly begun removing the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore on May 13. local time.
The port of Baltimore now has four temporary lanes open and is expected to resume full operations by the end of May. The Maryland state government estimates the bridge will cost $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion and is expected to be completed by fall 2028.
