Progress in the recommissioning of the Dali transport vessel

New images have emerged of this year's most notorious ship. The container ship Dali, which crashed into a bridge in Baltimore on March 26, has finally been fully unloaded and will likely soon head overseas for repairs.

The ship arrived at the Norfolk International Terminal on the east coast of the USA on August 11 with tarpaulins on the front.

The ship's starboard bow requires extensive repairs after part of Baltimore's largest bridge collapsed onto the ship's deck for several months this year.

A new bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives this month would require the owners of the Dali to pay up to ten times more for the damage the ship caused when it collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary report in May on the dali fatal collision of a container ship with Baltimore's largest bridge.

The ship, managed by Synergy Group and chartered to Maersk, experienced power outages about 10 hours before leaving the Port of Baltimore and again shortly before it struck the Francis Key Bridge in the early hours of March 26, killing six construction workers, federal investigators said.
