The 948-foot-long cargo ship has remained in the Port of Baltimore since March 26.
Federal and Maryland agents boarded the M/V Dali on the morning of April 15, 2024, after the FBI began looking into if the ship's crew knew of issues before setting off in late March. Monday morning, agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation went aboard the ship named DALI as they began looking into whether the crew left port knowing that something could be wrong with the ship.
“The FBI is present aboard the cargo ship Dali conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity,” the FBI Baltimore said in a statement to ABC News. The 948-foot-long cargo ship has remained in the Port of Baltimore since March 26 when it lost power less than an hour into its voyage, veered slightly off course, and struck the bridge.
National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said last week that investigators are focusing on the electrical power system of the massive container ship that veered off course. The ship experienced power issues moments before the crash, as evidenced in videos showing its lights going out and coming back on.
Homendy said information gleaned from the vessel's voyage data recorder is relatively basic, "so that information in the engine room will help us tremendously."
