The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has disrupted shipping at one of the largest ports in the country — and the busiest U.S. port for car shipments. Automakers are scrambling to deal with new supply chain issues.

I didn’t realize Baltimore was so important for the car market of the Midwest and East Coast. Apparently 800,000+ cars are delivered per year through the Port of Baltimore, but with the bridge collapse today it sounds like shipments could cause some car market issues for a swath of the country.

    Having that ship bob around semi-trapped for weeks will likely cause much more grief.

      They don’t exactly have a choice.

      I’m sure they’ll work on removing the ship, and the remnants of the bridge, ASAP. But its not going to be easy.
