Cargo ship Dali, which crashed into bridge and killed six workers, heads to Virginia for repairs and container removal
The cargo ship Dali headed out of Baltimore for Virginia on Monday, nearly three months after it lost power and crashed into one of the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s supporting columns and caused the bridge to collapse.
The 984ft (300m) Dali started moving shortly before 8.30am with four tugboats. It is headed to Norfolk, Virginia, for the removal of the remaining containers on the vessel and additional repairs.
The trip to Norfolk is expected to take between 16 and 20 hours.
Shortly after leaving the port of Baltimore early on 26 March, the ship lost power as well as propulsion and crashed into one of the bridge’s supporting columns, killing six construction workers.
