The bow of the ship is in the river bottom, but only due to the weight of the bridge resting on it. Should pull right out.
They'll offload containers to barge, they did it with the Ever Forward to lighten it. Only a few hazmat containers aboard, they know where they are and not in the river.
The link upthread that Jolly posted has data on what ships are in the harbor and trapped, luckily not many. As far as arrivals, "Wolfsburg" unloaded VW's at Sparrows Point yesterday-its outside the bridge. Other traffic may divert to Norfolk or Wilmington, both are international ports with all the goodies and only a couple days away. Currently most are holding at an anchorage below the Chesapeake Bay bridge.
I guess a remaining issue is whether salvage is allowed to proceed to cut things apart immediately as all of the bodies haven't been found or recovered.
