       May 21 (Reuters) - Coal producer Consol Energy  CEIX.N 
said on Tuesday shipments to international markets have resumed
from its marine terminal in Baltimore.
    Coal exports from the busy U.S. port of Baltimore were
disrupted in March following the collapse of a bridge that was
struck by a massive cargo ship. CONSOL's terminal was also shut
following the incident.
    The first shipment leaving the terminal was about 56,000 net
tons, compared with traditional shipments of about 140,000 net
tons in larger vessels, the company said.
    "While we are still limited in terms of size of ships and
night-time departures, we are hopeful to resume normal
operations as soon as possible," CEO Jimmy Brock said in a
statement.
