Summary
The Baltimore bridge collapse involving the Singapore-flagged container ship Dali has raised questions about the incident and the ship's history. The incident resulted in the presumed death of six construction workers and has caused concerns about supply chain disruption. The ship had previously been involved in a minor incident in Belgium and had propulsion and auxiliary machinery deficiencies found during an inspection in Chile. However, the ship had passed overseas inspections and had certificates covering its structural integrity and functionality at the time of the Baltimore bridge incident. Maersk, the charterer of the ship, expressed condolences and stated that they are closely following investigations.
