Rescue Teams Remove Containers From MV Dali Ship To Clear Part Of Baltimore Bridge Debris
Salvage crew members on Sunday started to remove containers from the vessel’s deck that slammed into and collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a significant effort toward reopening one of the nation’s main shipping lanes.
The lessening of the containers from Dali would go on this week depending on the weather, according to a statement from the Key Bridge Response Unified Command.
Crew members were advancing toward removing the bridge sections across its bow to permit it to move.
Currently, 32 vessels have sailed through temporary channels on either side of this wreckage.
David O’Connell, the U.S. Coast Guard Captain, said that Unified Command is simultaneously progressing on the main lines of action to remove debris and open the channel to commercial traffic.
MV Dali is trapped under mangled steel in the Patapsco River from when it banged into the bridge on 26 March, taking the lives of six workers.
President Biden embarked on a helicopter tour on Friday to see the warped metal remains and the mass of construction and salvage equipment attempting to clean up the wreckage.
The president met for more than an hour with the loved ones of those who lost their lives.
Eight workers — immigrants from Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras — were filling potholes on the bridge when it collapsed in the middle of the night.
Two could be rescued, and the dead bodies of three others were recovered over the subsequent days as the search for the others went on. Officials have a temporary alternate channel for the vessels involved in clearing debris.
The Army Corps of Engineers will likely successfully open a limited-access channel for barge container vessels and some vessels to move farm equipment and cars by the end of April and restore the standard capacity to Baltimore’s port by 31 May, per the White House.
Over 12 cranes and 50 salvage divers are on site to assist in cutting out the sections of the bridge and removing them from the waterway.
