Crews in Baltimore Harbor removed the massive Dali container ship from the wreckage of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge on Monday.
The massive container ship that caused the deadly collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge nearly two months ago was refloated Monday morning and towed to a port, revealing a new opening in the city’s skyline. The MV Dali, a Singapore-flagged neopanamax container ship, has been grounded in the main shipping channel of Baltimore Harbor since striking the bridge on March 26. Six construction workers on the bridge at the time were killed in the collapse. Around 7 a.m.
The collapse occurred after the Dali lost power as it was transiting through Baltimore Harbor. The ship briefly regained power, but a second power loss left the ship unable to move in time to avert a collision with one of the piers supporting the main span of the Key Bridge.
Officials have said the Dali will likely remain in the port for several weeks and undergo temporary repairs before being moved to a shipyard for more substantial repairs. The ship’s crew members, who have not been allowed to leave the vessel since the disaster, will be able to disembark once the Dali is docked in Baltimore, officials have said.
