It's official. Authorities announce full restoration of Baltimore's Fort McHenry Federal Channel
Following the tireless combined effort of numerous state and local agencies, and the removal of about 50,000 tons of bridge wreckage from the Patapsco River, the 700 feet wide and 50 feet deep channel is now safe for unrestricted commercial maritime transit through the Port of Baltimore.
"Wallenius Wilhelmsen would like to extend our gratitude to Unified Command, the agencies, responders, technical experts, our colleagues in the region and of course the people of Baltimore for their efforts in successfully completing the first phase of the long-term rebuilding project", says Mike Hynekamp, COO Logistics Services, Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
In addition, we would like to extend our sympathies once again to those directly affected by the tragic bridge collapse.
