Ship that caused Baltimore bridge collapse arrives in Norfolk, VA

The cargo ship Dali which caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has arrived in Norfolk, Virginia.

The Dali departed Baltimore Monday morning and arrived Tuesday in Norfolk to offload thousands of containers and for extensive repairs.

Nearly three months have passed since the Dali lost power and crashed into one of the bridge’s supporting columns, killing six construction workers and halting most maritime traffic through the Port of Baltimore.

The ship’s 21 crew members, most of whom are from India, haven’t been allowed to leave the vessel since the collapse. The Dali is managed by Synergy Marine Group and owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd., both of Singapore.

The ship was refloated in May and slowly backed away from the site of the March 26 disaster, guided by several tugboats. The extensive damage to its bow included a massive, gaping hole above the waterline on its starboard side.

Removing the hulking ship opened a new void in Baltimore’s skyline, which lost an iconic landmark and a symbol of the city’s proud maritime history.
