Supply chain struggles remain for businesses, even as port reopens

Pompeian Olive Oil staffers spent three weeks this spring making daily calls to a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean to pull off an expensive gamble: getting a ship across the ocean just in time for the reopening of a channel into the Port of Baltimore. The journey required precise timing to prevent the vessel from waiting for the wreckage of the Key Bridge to be cleared, but Pomepian officials deemed it worth the risk given the high costs associated with trucking imports from other ports. In the end, the trip was a success.
