On Mar 26, the Singapore-flagged M/V Dali lost power and ploughed into a support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse and killing six road workers who had been filling potholes overnight.
The 106,000-ton ship had been headed for Sri Lanka at the time of the accident.
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is investigating the incident along with the FBI, has said the ship had two electricity blackouts in the moments before the disaster.
The Dali was refloated last month and towed back into port.
The port of Baltimore is one of America’s busiest ports and a key hub for the auto industry, handling almost 850,000 autos and light trucks last year – more than any other US port, according to state figures.
The full reopening of the shipping channel will allow for two-way traffic, Monday’s statement said.
