Supply chain snarls from the bridge collapse.  I actually don't think it will be that bad after a couple of days.  A lot of the cargo can be re-routed to other east coast ports.

As far as ship engines going out.  Loss of steerage or engines in not uncommon in ships.  That is why USN ships have the special sea and anchor detail when engaged in sailing in periods of limited maneuverability (UNREP, coming into/out of port, etc).  We had both emergency steering and an anchor chain detail in case we lost steerage or engines during these periods.  I assume merchants have something similar, but even that may not help if the loss occurs at the exact wrong moment.

No idea if this is right, but the guy in the video below, says there is evidence that the anchor was dropped before impact, but that the ship "dragged" it.

I remember way back when you could get really good pizza and steak and cheese subs from just about any joint in the big apple.
