Apparently its a Singapore ship.

"BI also viewed a vessel tracking map of the area on the ship monitoring site VesselFinder.com. At 2:50 a.m. local time, the Dali, a Singapore-flagged container ship, was seen remaining stationary under the bridge. Several vessels marked as Coast Guard search and rescue vessels were seen moving toward the ship on the VesselFinder.com map, with one stationed next to the ship as of 3:03 a.m., local time."

A petty officer first class for the Coast Guard in Baltimore named Matthew West confirmed the crash to The New York Times.

BI also viewed a YouTube livestream of the bridge, which showed a large vessel making contact with the bridge at around 1:28 a.m. local time.

The livestream view of the area at around 3:00 a.m. local time showed the bridge's structure partially submerged in the harbor and in several pieces.

BI also viewed a vessel tracking map of the area on the ship monitoring site VesselFinder.com. At 2:50 a.m. local time, the Dali, a Singapore-flagged container ship, was seen remaining stationary under the bridge.
Several vessels marked as Coast Guard search and rescue vessels were seen moving toward the ship on the VesselFinder.com map, with one stationed next to the ship as of 3:03 a.m., local time.
The Dali, a Singapore-flagged cargo ship, was seen stationary on VesselFinder.com's vessel-tracking map.

Emergency services teams, including divers and at least two helicopters, responded to the scene, per Baltimore County's police scanner in the hour and a half after the bridge's collapse.
It is unclear if any vehicles were traveling along the bridge during the collapse. Representatives for the Maryland Transportation Authority did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

"All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured," the Maryland Transportation Authority said in an X post on Tuesday morning.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge opened in March 1977 as the final link in the Baltimore Beltway, according to the MDTA. It cost $60.3 million to build and is 10.9 miles long, per the MDTA.

The container ship involved appears to be a Singapore-flagged vessel named Dali, live maritime data showed on Tuesday. It had just departed the port in Baltimore and was headed for the Sri Lankan capital Colombo, where it was due to arrive in late April.

The pilot is likely a wanker. Trying to defame the PAP as usual

A ship that size cannot go up a river like that without a US Pilot. The Pilot likely in control and ran the ship into the bridge. SO, it's an American's fault.

The Key Bridge in the US city of Baltimore was struck by the Singapore-flagged Dali container ship, according to ship tracking data.
The vessel is 300m long and was on its way to Colombo in Sri Lanka.
On marine radars, the Dali departed from the terminal at Port Breeze at around 12:45am ET (4:45am GMT).
It travelled towards the Francis Scott Key Bridge but became stationary at the site of the bridge 45 minutes later.
Air traffic radars show that police helicopters have been circling the area repeatedly.

Oh so the ship was korean built. They make very good, solid and powerful ships, no wonder the bridge didn't stand a chance.
