Dali back in Baltimore port, freed 55 days after striking and collapsing Bridge

The container ship Dali has arrived in the Port of Baltimore after crews moved the ship for first time in 55 days. It was stranded in the Patapsco River after striking the Key Bridge.

Moore, who watched the operation from a boat about 500 feet from the Dali, lauded those who have worked safely and speedily in the massive and ongoing recovery effort led by the Key Bridge Unified Command. Darrell Wilson, a spokesman for the Synergy Marine Group that manages the ship, said the vessel’s return to port was “a relief for all of us and a reflection of all of the hard work of Unified Command and all of the salvage workers.” Viewed from the south, at Riviera Beach in Anne Arundel County, the vessel with its now-familiar stack of multicolored containers stirred around 7 a.m. Over the next hour, the freighter progressively moved faster as it was tugged backward into the Baltimore harbor.
