March 26, 2024
Owners and managers of the Singapore-flagged container ship “DALI” (IMO 9697428) report that the vessel collided with one of the pillars of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, Baltimore whilst under pilotage with two pilots onboard, at approximately 01 30 local time on 26th March.
All crew members, including the two pilots have been accounted for and there are no reports of any injuries. There has also been no pollution.

u never go join the rescue effort?2 pilots plus 22 ceca crew safe. 6.9 drivers on bridge missing. vehicles submerged.
Based on ship registration rule, angmoh US will file case in Singapore court as the ship is registered in Singapore
Singapore law firm huat big time
Do you think we should quickly send our elite NDU over to spearhead the underwater rescue? Or rather the retrieval of bodies?The main issue now is NOT about playing blame games.
It is far more critical to SAVE lives & the impact on this bridge upon trade, jobs & lives, that takes PRECEDENCE & PRIORITY over legal issues that will take a far more time to resolve with insurance companies & the GREEK OWNERS of that ship which is NOT owned by Singapore. MPA will & had shown it is willing to assist the Maryland & Baltimore port authorities with transparency.
It is already morning in Baltimore, & the ship as well as Human traffic is building up. LIFE must go on, no matter how bad circumstances are. A winner is not someone whom can take repeated punches, but one who CAN STAND UP no matter how many punches he still receives.
And thus, the Maryland & Baltimore authorities MUST stand up, as quickly as possible & with sane safety measures, to alleviate the shipping, passenger & vehicular traffic situation as well as investigations on the cause & structural inspections/reconstruction works. Trade, jobs & lives are dependent on such.
Singapore ship helping US rebuild the infrastructure instead of spending money fighting endless war and regime change overseas.It's time to rebuild American. They need massive rebuilding for their infrastructure.
This will boost the economy of the World. The bridge is just a relic , need to be taken down anyway. For now it has been taken down by the ship passing through it officially.
By the time they reach Baltimore, job is already completed.Do you think we should quickly send our elite NDU over to spearhead the underwater rescue? Or rather the retrieval of bodies?
So this is not a terrorist act. If it had been a Malaysian ship, all kinds of allegations would follow.The main issue now is NOT about playing blame games.
