There appear to be four MARAD RRF ships moored (now stuck) in the port.

Yeah appreciate it. No, it just says "ocean vessel departing from Port of Baltimore."
I checked….it’s on “MV Werdafuk Mycar.” Flagged out of Guadalcanal, I think.
Sure looks more Germanic to me, but who knows with the way ship registry laws are these days.
Synergy Marine Group is based in Singapore. They manage a large fleet of ships/ seafarers and most associated processes. I can't wait for the Technical Mangement briefings that they’ll surely have with the media.

Enroute via Gulf of Aden and Somalia... so no worries you'll see it again when it's a collector piece 😁
What timeline would you consider efficient?
Honestly - no idea. I was posting this tongue-in-cheek because early on in this thread there was a comment on what would happen once the various agency bureaucracies started to weigh in.

I read in a Baltimore Sun article where they estimated it could take between 2-15 years to rebuild. Let’s hope it’s on the shorter end of that estimate.
It took NTSB 15 months to complete an investigation for a fatal civilian helicopter crash here on Kauai where the primary causal factors were evident within 72 hours. Shit takes time, Gov't agencies are understaffed and overworked.
Yeah, my only frame of reference is military mishap and JAG reports. Even though the NTSB probably has a good idea what happened right now, I'm sure it will take time, especially dealing with harbor infrastructure and operating procedures. A civilian tour helo going down is peanuts compared to this.
The bridge, sure. They might be able to accelerate it a bit but bridges don't really go up overnight, even ones back in the day. Clearing the wreckage so the harbor can be operational again? A lot quicker, I wouldn't be surprised if they could start getting ships in and out in a month or two. Fully operational will probably take a bit longer, but not 2-15 years.
