"The impact of the Baltimore port stoppage on construction and contractor supply chains may be significant," said William George, director of research for ImportGenius.
"For cargo already on water, we will omit the port, and will discharge cargo set for Baltimore, in nearby ports.
COSCO announced Wednesday morning that its services would "be concluded" once the diverted container arrives at the alternate port.
Out of the diverted ports, New York/New Jersey and Savannah, are included.
One of the biggest concerns among logistics companies is availability of chassis for both truck and rail to handle the diverted cargo.
