Dali is a Singapore-registered container ship. As of 2024, her owner is Grace Ocean Pte Ltd.[3] In March 2024, the ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, causing a catastrophic structural failure of the bridge and resulting in at least one casualty.[8]

Construction and characteristics

Construction of the Dali began in 2014 in HD Hyundai Heavy Industries' Ulsan shipyard in South Korea.[5] The ship is based on the "Hyundai 9000 wide beam" design, modified to increase container capacity from 9,034 TEU to 9,962 TEU by relocating the wheelhouse from three-quarters aft to a more forward position.[9] Dali and her sister ship Cezanne[10] were christened with the names of the painters, Salvador Dalí and Paul Cézanne.[4] Both vessels were delivered to owner Oceanbulk Maritime SA in early 2015, for charter by Maersk.[9] Dali was registered in Majuro, Marshall Islands.[7]

In terms of her characteristics, she is a Neopanamax ship with a gross tonnage of 95,128, length of 300 meters,[4] and a beam of 48.2 meters. The draft of the ship is 24.8 meters.[4] She is powered by a 41480 kW MAN B&W 9S90ME-C9.2 2-stroke, single acting, 9-cylinder diesel engine,[6][7] and has a fixed pitch B-1-3000 thruster for propulsion. The ship can reach a speed of 22 knots, and has a capacity of 10,000 TEU.[4]

Incidents

2016

On 11 July 2016, Dali collided with the berth at the container terminal in the Port of Antwerp, Belgium, causing significant damage to the vessel's stern and transom.[11] The berth was also damaged and closed for cargo handling operations. There were no injuries or water pollution reported.[12] At the time of the incident the ship was owned by Oceanbulk Maritime (a Greek company) and chartered by Maersk.[12]

2024

Main article: Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse

On 26 March 2024, Dali departed the Port of Baltimore, Maryland, United States, on a journey to Colombo, Sri Lanka,[3] with a crew of 22[13] and 2 pilots.[14] Shortly after leaving the port, the ship lost power. The vessel issued a mayday,[15][16] and soon afterwards it collided with a support pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge causing a catastrophic structural failure of the bridge.[17][18]
