Recovery teams refloated a huge cargo vessel impeding shipping in the Port of Baltimore early on May 20 and pulled it free of the main channel, two months after the boat crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused the span to collapse.

Ship that crashed into Baltimore bridge refloated and towed away

Tugboats led the Dali to a local marine terminal after a successful effort to make the container ship buoyant at about 6:40am on May 20, the US Army Corps of Engineers said on social media platform X.

The removal of the Dali marked a significant step in the Port of Baltimore's recovery from when the boat lost power and crashed into a bridge support on March 26. The bridge's collapse killed six road workers and hindered traffic through the busiest port for car shipments in the US.
