TransGlobal Logistics Europe is deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred at the Francis Scott Key bridge in the early hours of 26 March 2024.
Our most heartfelt thoughts go out to those impacted and their families.

At this time we do not know how long vessel traffic will be suspended. We will provide you with regular updates as news are beeing received.

The Francis-Scott-Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed after a collision with a Containervessel. The incident led to the tragic loss of lives and multiple vehicles falling into the water. As of the latest updates, the search for survivors has been stopped. The authorities have classified this as a "mass casualty incident".
The cause of the collision remains under investigation, with reports indicating that the ship, "Dali," had issues with its propulsion system before the accident.

The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has significantly disrupted East Coast shipping traffic, especially affecting the Port of Baltimore, a crucial shipping hub. The closure has halted ship traffic, trapping at least 40 ships and forcing another 30 scheduled to arrive to be rerouted. This has led to delays and increased pressure on alternative ports, potentially impacting U.S. market access and causing ripple (cascading) effects.

There is heightened urgency to re-open the waterway because several US Navy vessels are blocked inside the port, but we expect it to take weeks if not months until things are back to normal.

All TGLE customer cargo will be discharged at different Terminals or rerouted to alternative ports in the meantime.
TGLE is currently working on a contingency plan and will address each cargo interest directly in the coming days while closely monitoring the situation in Baltimore.

We will continue to accept future bookings for CONTAINERS and RORO (to all other U.S. ports)

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We will keep you updated.
