STORY: Moore spoke one day after a freight ship crashed into the bridge, causing it to collapse and killing at least six people.

Moore said that the investigation was expected "to be a long one." He added that he was prioritizing recovering the remains of the victims. He emphasized also that rebuilding the bridge and re-opening up the Port of Baltimore was important.

The Port of Baltimore handles more automobile freight than any other U.S. port - more than 750,000 vehicles in 2022, according to port data, as well as container and bulk cargo ranging from sugar to coal.
