Dali is a Singapore-registered container ship. As of 2024, her owner is Grace Ocean Pte Ltd.[2] 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.[7]

Construction and characteristics

Construction of the Dali began in 2014 in HD Hyundai Heavy Industries' Ulsan shipyard in South Korea.[3] 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.[8] Dali and her sister ship Cezanne[9] were christened with the names of the painters, Salvador Dalí and Paul Cézanne.[1] Both vessels were delivered to owner Oceanbulk Maritime SA in early 2015, for charter by Maersk.[8] Dali was registered in Majuro, Marshall Islands.[4]

In terms of her characteristics, she is a Neopanamax ship with a gross tonnage of 95,128, length of 300 meters,[1] and a beam of 48.2 meters. The draft of the ship is 24.8 meters.[1] She is powered by a 41480 kW MAN B&W 9S90ME-C9.2 2-stroke, single acting, 9-cylinder diesel engine,[6][4] 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.[1]

Incidents

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.[10] The berth was also damaged and closed for cargo handling operations. There were no injuries or water pollution reported.[11] At the time of the incident the ship was owned by Oceanbulk Maritime (a Greek company) and chartered by Maersk.[11]

On 26 March 2024, Dali departed the Port of Baltimore, Maryland, United States, on a journey to Colombo, Sri Lanka,[2] with a crew of 22[12] and 2 pilots.[13] Shortly after leaving the port, the ship lost power. The vessel issued a mayday,[14][15] and soon afterwards it collided with a support pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge causing a catastrophic structural failure of the bridge.[16][17]
