High-speed large-capacity cargo transport Algol SS Antares and SS Denebola remain in port due to structural collapse.

Supply ships from the US Naval Sealift Command in Baltimore were unable to leave port due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. This was reported by The War Zone.

We are talking about the high-speed large-capacity cargo transports of the Algol class SS Antares and SS Denebola with a displacement of 55 thousand tons and a US speed of 33 knots. The United States has eight such vessels.

The port also has the ro-ro ships MV Cape Washington and MV Gary Gordon, which are used for sea transportation of cars and other wheeled equipment. America has 30 ships of this type.

As you know, on Tuesday, March 26, part of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore, Maryland, after the Dali container ship crashed into it. There were 22 crew members on board at the time of the collision.
