“It’s something we discuss with the Coast Guard quite a bit. What do you do if some incident happens and a major seaport is shut down?” Florida Ports Council CEO Michael Rubin said. “The whole supply chain crisis those vessel calls to look elsewhere and you’ll see a similar thing here however long it takes Baltimore to get back up and running,” Rubin said.
