948-Foot-Long Dali Ship Refloated and Moved After Deadly Baltimore Bridge Collapse
May 20, 2024, 11:49 AM
The 948-foot-long container ship Dali, which caused the deadly collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March, has been successfully refloated and moved back to port. The incident, which resulted in the deaths of six construction workers, had left the ship stranded in the Patapsco River for nearly two months, blocking access to the Port of Baltimore. The refloating operation began on Monday at high tide, with the vessel being guided by several tugboats to a nearby marine terminal. The move marks a significant step towards reopening the port, which has been partially closed since the crash. Maryland Governor Wes Moore confirmed that the ship would be removed 'within days.' The reinforced concrete column and deck of the bridge will remain during transit, and further debris removal will continue at the marina. Notably, 22 crew members had to remain on board since the crash, including during a controlled explosion.
