AWO Releases Statement on Baltimore Bridge Collapse
03/26/24
AWO is deeply saddened by the catastrophic collapse of the Key Bridge in Baltimore. Our thoughts are with those who were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, and with the first responders working to rescue survivors. Consistent with standard port procedure for containerships navigating that segment of the Patapsco River, the foreign-flagged containership involved was navigating on its own at the time of the incident. As longtime partners to the Port of Baltimore in moving the nation’s maritime commerce, the American tugboat, towboat and barge industry stands ready to assist with recovery efforts in any way we can.
