The largest crane on the eastern US seaboard has arrived in Baltimore as part of a massive clean-up effort after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

Shipments in and out of one of the country’s busiest ports are suspended while the wreckage hangs over the cargo ship that crashed into it.

The search for the bodies of four workers remains on hold because of the dangers of diving amongst the wreckage.

Some $60m (£48m) in federal emergency funds will go towards recovery efforts.

President Joe Biden said he is headed to Baltimore next week to view the crash’s fallout and speak to federal efforts.

The port is a main economic generator for the state of Maryland and a vital artery for imports and exports of US and global trade.

Eight construction workers were repairing potholes on the Key Bridge early on Tuesday when the Dali container ship veered into one of its columns, sending most of the structure crashing into the water.
