USA LIVE: Container Ship That Caused Baltimore Bridge Collapse To Be Refloated | Maryland | CNBC TV18
MARYLAND, UNITED STATES: Crews are scheduled to refloat the cargo ship Dali from Baltimore’s channel and then transport it to the marine terminal, nearly two months after the vessel’s crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which resulted in six fatalities and severely disrupted a major Northeast U.S. transportation route.

BALTIMORE -- Dali, the cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore before its collapse, is set to be refloated Monday after eight weeks of salvage efforts requiring the use of giant floating cranes and explosives.

The milestone comes nearly eight weeks since the disaster killed six construction workers, crippled the Port of Baltimore and cut off I-695.

Unified Command said Saturday the ship would be refloated from its location in the Patapsco River, where it has been stuck under tons of wreckage, to a local marine terminal.

"The refloat and transit sequence is deliberately designed to ensure all response personnel around the M/V Dali maintain control of the vessel, from refloat, transit to, and berthing at a local marine terminal," Unified Command said.
