A view of the cargo ship 'Dali' as crews clear it from the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, US May 20, 2024. Recovery teams refloated a huge cargo vessel impeding shipping in the Port of Baltimore early on Monday and began pulling it free of the main channel, two months after the boat crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge and caused the span to collapse.
Tugboats were leading the Dali to a local marine terminal after a successful effort to make the container ship buoyant at about 6.40am, the US Army Corps of Engineers said on social media platform X.marked a significant step in the Port of Baltimore's recovery from the boat's Mar 26 collision with one of the bridge's support pillars.
Crews set off controlled explosions last week to allow them to remove a portion of the fallen bridge from the bow of the Dali, which had been pinning the boat in place. That allowed salvage crews to haul away the twisted metal wreckage using cranes and barges, and free the boat for refloating and removal, the Corps of Engineers said.before crashing into the bridge as it was leaving the port. Maryland state officials estimate it will cost US$1.7 billion to US$1.
