After the Key Bridge collapse, will supply chain issues have an impact beyond Baltimore?

Показать описание
Some analysts have said that the bridge collapse outside the Port of Baltimore is likely to disrupt supply chain as both the bridge and the channel serve as a busy shipping corridor. Barry Prentice, a supply chain management professor at the University of Manitoba, says that there will be a significant local impact but delays will not be felt as much beyond Ontario or Quebec.

It should not take that long to at least clear the wreckage so that shipping can pass through if the government is determined to address the situation.

As tragic as this was, the oil companies will use this as an excuse to raise gas prices again.

The supply chain will be hugely impacted. It will take yrs to rebuild. That's why they did it.

Sure is interesting how CBC allows comments on these news items but when it comes to Canadian politics the comments are shut off. Thats going to change when PP gets elected... bye, bye CBC. My condolances to the people lost in this tragedy.

The number of brain dead posters here is mind boggling. There are 4 main ports on the US East coast, now down to 3, for the foreseeable future. This is really going to hurt.

Have any journalists asked "why wasnt the boat equipped with an emergency anchor system. Emergency power for a full stop?"

this is a good reason to have tug boats out helping escort the boat out as a precaution because had they been there they could have helped stop the boat long enough at least till more help could come if needed and stopped the impact

Why was there no cars on the bridge? Is the cabal going to use this accident to restrict future shipping?

These reporters must be so happy there's a non partisan news story they can just do their jobs on instead of propaganda. They actually seemed like they forgot how to do it at first lol.
