[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding cruise ships- I imagine they'll be anchored and tender into the harbor. While I think that would be a nuisance, I don't think it's going to stop cruise ships. Supplying them (food, garbage) will be hard, but there are other stops at other ports that this could potentially happen.

Container ships on the other hand need all the infrastructure of a harbor with cranes. They'll have to be rerouted elsewhere. [/quote]

Tender thousands of passengers and their luggage to shore??[/quote]
The cruise ships that serve Baltimore are not very large. [/quote]

Yep. And they already tender thousands of passengers to ports of call regularly. This would just require additional boats for luggage, which is no small undertaking. However, if you can't go past the bridge, I'm not sure where you could tender passengers to a dock? This will likely be rerouted. Baltimore cruise ships are already much smaller than the ones in NY harbor (I believe this was due to the size limitations of fitting under the bridge)[/quote]
