NEW DELHI:
Dali
, the
cargo ship
that crashed into Baltimore’s
Francis Scott Key Bridge
on March 26, finally moved back to the port on Monday — 55 days remaining stuck under the debris of the bridge. The
Indian crew
of the ship have been hailed for alerting local authorities in time about having lost control of their vessel helped which save several lives by all, including US President Joe Biden.
“Synergy Marine Group (SMG) is pleased to report that the M/V DALI has been successfully refloated and is now safely alongside at a berth in Baltimore. This took place through the collective efforts of the Unified Command, which includes federal, state and local authorities, emergency response teams and marine salvage experts. This significant milestone is another crucial step towards fully reopening the port and completely restoring maritime activities in the Port of Baltimore,” said the Singapore flagged ship’s operator SMG said in a statement Monday.
“First, we again extend our deepest sympathy to all those impacted by the events of 26 March 2024. The company and crew continue to fully participate with the investigation process and are committed to a thorough understanding of the facts that led to this incident…. on behalf of the crew, we wish to express our appreciation of all those who have expressed concern for the crew’s wellbeing,” SMG’s emergency response team’s statement added.
