115,000 tonne dwt , 55,000 hp container ship
PS aside from the loss of life, the bridge parts in the channel are going to cause a huge interruption to operations in the Port of Baltimore. Opening the navigation channel is not going to happen over night.
A massive volume of cargo normally moves through Baltimore (abt 52m tonnes as well as about 850,000 vehicles of various types) so this will have a knock on effect throughout the North American supply chain as there aren't many other East Coast ports that can handle the volume. Interestingly some of this may now divert through Halifax...
