It'd take over a week just to move the 95,000 ton ship out of the wreckage. Honestly 2 or more weeks I'm thinking, there's a giant hundred-ton metal beam just resting on top of the ship now, its not going to be easy to move that safely.
Then weeks after that to clear out the rest of the old bridge to make enough room for the port to open back up.
Then its going to take years to reconstruct the bridge and bring things back to normal.
Don't forget how big container ships are. Don't you remember Evergiven?
These things aren't easy to move around, dig around, or work with.
Having that ship bob around semi-trapped for weeks will likely cause much more grief.
They don't exactly have a choice.
I'm sure they'll work on removing the ship, and the remnants of the bridge, ASAP. But its not going to be easy.
Only slightly related, when Sea of Thieves released their named/captained ships update, I immediately named my galleon Evergiven.
They have vehicles they use every day to move these ships around.
So pull it off?
Just tie the bridge to a tugboat and yank it out of the way?
You can do that without permanently stopping traffic through the port.
They're not, that's why there are boats designed specifically for that purpose.
I wish I was as confident in my area of expertise as this guy is in fucking whatever.
Just yank the six lanes of highway guys. What the fuck is your problem.
This guy is a straight-shooter with upper management written all over him.
You're seriously underestimating the size of things here to an absurd degree.
The size of the boats specifically designed to pull around cargo ships?
The boats pulling cargo ships are pulling a freely floating object. This shit is jam up.
