Broke On: Wednesday, 15 May 2024 On March 26, 2024, the cargo ship Dali collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore after experiencing multiple power blackouts. The first two occurred while docked at Seagirt Marine Terminal due to crew error and insufficient fuel pressure. Despite these issues, the Dali left port and suffered two more blackouts before crashing into the bridge. The NTSB is investigating the cause of the blackouts, which may have contributed to the collision that severely damaged the bridge, causing a four-year repair process and significant traffic disruptions. The Singapore-based Dali had been in port for over eight months prior to this incident.
