Ford and General Motors said they would need to divert shipments to other ports during the closure.

The auto industry is bracing for supply chain disruptions as a result of the bridge collapse in Baltimore on Tuesday that shut down the busiest port for automobile shipments in the United States.. Experts and industry officials said the impacts on the auto sector could be significant, leading to shipping delays and constrained availability — though not on the scale of those seen during the pandemic.

“Around 850,000 vehicles go through that port every single year, and we’re going to get it up and running again as soon as possible,” Biden said.The Port of Baltimore handled 847,158 cars and light trucks last year, making it the nation’s largest port for automobiles for the 13th year in a row, according to thethat the automaker would need to divert shipments to other ports “along the East Coast or elsewhere in the country.

“At this time, we do not anticipate a significant disruption, but we are evaluating the situation closely to determine the longer term impact and countermeasures,” Hellwig said. Volvo Group spokesperson Claes Eliasson said Baltimore is not a primary port for its commercial vehicle business, but it does have supply chain partners who operate there.

Golara noted that the automotive supply chain is more resilient than it was before the pandemic, and dealers have more inventory available, especially for electric vehicles. “Electric cars are in still better position than the average car,” he said.
