## Resource

When the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, many feared Baltimore's port could remain crippled for months—or even years. In this powerful clip from Power Hour, host Todd M. Schoenberger speaks with Bill Doyle, CEO and Executive Director of the Dredging Contractors of America, former Federal Maritime Commissioner, and former Executive Director of the Port of Baltimore. Doyle explains how America's Jones Act fleet immediately mobilized after the disaster. Within hours, dredging companies, marine contractors, and merchant marine operators were on-site removing steel, roadway debris, and wreckage from the Patapsco River. The result? Vessel traffic resumed within days, and the Port of Baltimore was fully operational again in just 11 weeks. This remarkable story highlights the critical role America's maritime industry plays in responding to emergencies and protecting vital supply chains. Watch now to hear the inside story of one of the most impressive infrastructure recovery efforts in recent U.S. history.
