The Dali that crashed the Baltimore Bridge is headed to China for major repairs
The Dali, the container ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge six months ago, will soon leave its repair shop in Norfolk, Virginia, for China, according to the Baltimore Sun.
However, this does not ensure that the ship will set sail as scheduled in mid-September. Since the accident, the Dali has made two transfers - from the middle of the Patapsco River to the port of Baltimore and then on to Norfolk - both days later than initially expected.
Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a bill that would hold the owners of the Dali up to ten times the liability for damage caused by the collision. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary report in May on the fatal collision between the Dali and Baltimore's largest bridge.
Federal investigators noted that the container ship, which was managed by Synergy Group and leased to Maersk, suffered a power outage about 10 hours before it left the port of Baltimore. In the early hours of March 26, shortly after another power outage, the freighter struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, killing six construction workers.
