First commercial vessel transits new Baltimore limited Channel

The first commercial vessel transits through the limited access channel in Baltimore, Maryland, April 25, 2024. The LAC, which has a controlling depth of at least 35 feet, a horizontal clearance of 300 feet and a vertical clearance of 214 feet is expected to provide passage for a limited number of commercial vessels into the Port of Baltimore and a departure opportunity for some deep draft vessels currently unable to leave the harbor since the bridge collapse.
Debris and wreckage removal is on-going in support of a top priority to safely and efficiently open the Fort McHenry Channel.
