My company imports plywood, OSB and lumber through the port of Baltimore.
This is because they are one of the few ports that have large indoor storage warehouses at the port.

All of that cargo will need to be diverted to a different port like Wilmington, Philly, Norfolk, Newark, New Haven, Charleston, Savannah, etc.
Costing more freight to get to its final destination.

This is a classic FORCE MAJURE. An act of God, out of our control.

My employer too. The plant is just a couple miles from the bridge. Many of the raw materials simply do not exist in the US and thus importing is necessary. Force majeure is right.
