Dali / Francis Scott Key Bridge, Baltimore, MD, USA (NTSB DCA24MM031)Report published Dec 10, 2025
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the contact of the containership Dali with the Francis Scott Key Bridge was a loss of electrical power (blackout), due to a loose signal wire connection to a terminal block stemming from the improper installation of wire label banding, resulting in the vessel’s loss of propulsion and steering close to the bridge.

About Dali
MV Dali is a Neopanamax container ship built by Hyundai Heavy Industries. On 26 March 2024, she caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore when she lost power and collided with one of its supports. Contracted in 2013, her hull was laid down in October 2014, launched in December, and she was named after Spanish painter Salvador Dalí in January 2015. In March, she was delivered to Stellar Marine, a subsidiary of the Greek shipowner Oceanbulk Maritime. In July 2016, she collided with the berth at the container terminal of the Port of Antwerp, damaging the ship and the berth. Dali was sold by Stellar Marine to Grace Ocean, a Singaporean company, in October 2016; she was placed under the management of Synergy Marine and reflagged as Singaporean.
