The cargo ship Dali, which lost power and caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March, has departed from Baltimore for Virginia, officials say.
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 984-foot Dali started moving shortly before 8:30 a.m. with four tugboats.
The Dali was sailing under its own power with a full crew of 22 and six salvage experts, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release.
The Coast Guard is overseeing the voyage and providing a 500-yard safety zone around the Dali during its trip.
The Dali is scheduled to go directly to Virginia International Gateway to have roughly 1,500 cargo containers off-loaded to reduce draft, the Coast Guard said.
