COUNTRY'S ACTING PRESIDENT UNTIL THE ELECTIONS ARE HELD. STEVE. ALL RIGHT. >> BACK HERE AT HOME, THE DAILY CARGO SHIP IN BALTIMORE IS BACK ON THE MOVE. >> THAT SHIP HAS BLOCKED THE CHANNEL FOR EIGHT WEEKS. FOX FIVE'S MELANIE OLEXIY IS LIVE IN BALTIMORE WITH THE LATEST. MELANIE >> HEY, GOOD MORNING GUYS. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 55 DAYS, THERE IS NO DAILY CARGO SHIP SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATAPSCO RIVER WHERE THE KEY BRIDGE USED TO BE. BEHIND US ARE THE REMNANTS OF THOSE RAMPS THAT USED TO THEN CARRY PEOPLE ACROSS THE BRIDGE. AND THAT WAS WHERE THE CARGO SHIP DOLLY CAME TO REST ON MARCH 26TH AFTER CRASHING INTO THOSE PIERS. SO THIS IS JUST ONE MORE STEP IN GETTING THE PORT FULLY OPERATIONAL BY THE END OF THE MONTH. TAKE A LOOK AT SOME SKY FOX VIDEO FROM EARLIER THIS MORNING. AS THAT SHIP BEGAN TO GET UNDERWAY. YOU SEE THOSE TUGBOATS THERE AS WELL, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHIP'S SAFE PASSAGE BACK TO THE MARINE TERMINAL. EARLY THIS MORNING, GOVERNOR WESTMORE'S OFFICE RELEASED A PHOTO OF HIM MEETING WITH UNIFIED COMMAND TO VIEW THE REFLOAT OPERATION. THEY BEGAN ABOUT TWO THIS MORNING WITH WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO UNLOAD SOME OF THE WATER, THE BALLAST THAT WAS KEEPING THAT SHIP LOW, AND THEN HAVING TO KIND OF BALANCE OUT FOR THE CARGO THAT SOME OF THE CARGO CONTAINERS THAT WERE TAKEN OFF THE FRONT OF THAT THE REST OF THE PROCESS ALSO BEGAN SATURDAY REMOVAL OF THE ANCHORS. AND THEN AS WE MENTIONED, THE DOLLY WILL BE FREE FROM ITS CURRENT POSITION. THE TUGBOATS ARE GOING TO ESCORT THE SHIP ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MILES AWAY. IT'S MOVING AT A SPEED OF ONE MILE PER HOUR. NEARBY RESIDENTS TOLD US THEY ARE STILL DEALING WITH MEMORIES OF THE DAY OF THE COLLISION AND THE LINGERING EFFECTS. >> MY HOUSE SHOOK WHEN IT FELL, BUT THESE JETS WENT BY. I THOUGHT WE WERE BEING BOMBED. I REALLY DID BECAUSE OF THE COAST GUARD BEING THERE AND THE PORT. >> WELL, I'M GLAD IT'S FINALLY GOING TO BE MOVED, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A LITTLE ROUGH NOT HAVING THAT BRIDGE THERE. WE GOT TO GO AROUND THROUGH THE TUNNELS AND TO GET SOUTH, AND I'LL BE GLAD WHEN IT'S, YOU KNOW, FINISHED. >> AND IT HAS BEEN AN EXHAUSTING TWO MONTHS FOR THE DISASTER RESPONSE TEAM, NOT JUST MOVING TONS OF STEEL OFF OF THE CARGO SHIP DOLLY, BUT ALSO DEALING WITH THE SENSITIVE RECOVERY OF THOSE WHO DIED IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE KEY BRIDGE AND CLEARING ALL OF THE DANGEROUS DEBRIS TO ENSURE SAFE CHANNELS. NOW, GOVERNOR WESTMORE DOES PLAN TO HOLD A MEDIA BRIEFING HERE AT 230 THIS AFTERNOON, PRESUMABLY TO ANNOUNCE A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION TODAY. WE DO KNOW THAT IT MAY TAKE YEARS TO GET THE BRIDGE REBUILT. A LOT OF PEOPLE, YEAH, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE SURPRISED ABOUT THE CREW KNOWING THAT THEY HAD TO STAY ON BOARD THE SHIP THE ENTIRE TIME. >> SO THE QUESTION IS, WHAT HAPPENS WITH THEM NOW? >> WELL, FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DISEMBARK ONE OF THE UNIONS THAT REPRESENTS THE CREW MEMBERS SAID THAT THEIR VISAS EXPIRED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND THEY ARE WORKING TO TRY TO GET THEM EITHER RENEWED OR GET THEM NEW VISAS. THEY ALSO SAY THAT THEY ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THAT THE WELL-BEING OF THESE CREW MEMBERS HAVING TO DEAL WITH. NOW, THIS EXTENDED MISSION, THEY SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED IN SRI LANKA ON APRIL 22ND. WE KNOW THAT RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS HAVE PAID OCCASIONAL VISITS TO THE CREW MEMBERS AND BROUGHT RELIEF SUPPLIES TO THEM. BUT HOW FAR? HOW LONG THEY'LL HAVE TO NOW STAY IN PORT IS STILL AN OPEN QUESTION. >> ALL RIGHT, THAT WAITING GAME CONTINUES NOW, BUT GO
