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.
