Federal agents have boarded the Maersk Saltoro, a vessel managed by the same company as the cargo ship Dali, which caused the deadly collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The FBI confirmed the boarding, which took place in the Port of Baltimore on Saturday, but did not disclose the reason for the operation. Several hundred agents were involved in the boarding, a significantly larger number than the typical inspections conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard.
