New images of this year’s most infamous ship have emerged. The Dali containership, which slammed into a bridge in Baltimore on March 26, has finally had all its cargo removed and will likely head overseas soon for repairs.
The ship arrived at Norfolk International Terminal on the US east coast on August 11, sporting debris tarps on its bows.
The ship will require very significant repairs to its starboard bow, on which a portion of Baltimore’s largest bridge collapsed onto the ship’s deck for a number of months this year.
A new bill introduced into the US House of Representatives this month aims to make the owners of the Dali pay up to 10 times more for the damage the ship caused when it crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in May released a preliminary report into the Dali containership’s fatal allision with Baltimore’s largest bridge.
The vessel, managed by Synergy Group and on charter to Maersk, experienced electrical blackouts about 10 hours before leaving the Port of Baltimore and again shortly before it slammed into the Francis Key Bridge in the early hours of March 26, killing six construction workers, federal investigators said.
