Grounded MV Dali Ship to be removed from Baltimore Port within 14 Days
The Salvage Crew is preparing to refloat and remove the MV Dali Ship within two weeks to permit more maritime traffic into Baltimore Harbour.
The ship lost power & slammed into the bridge’s columns on 26 March and lies among the wreckage.
According to a news release by the Port of Baltimore, officials expect to remove it by 10 May.
Last week, a provisional deep-draft channel allowed some stranded cargo vessels to leave the Port of Baltimore.
Many ships entered the port through the channel, which closed on Monday so the crew could remove the MV Dali Ship.

Work is complicated because cutting the spans into shorter sections might risk destabilising other pieces of the wreckage.
Crew members are using the biggest hydraulic grabber available in the nation to assist in that effort.
Officials plan on fully restoring the port’s 50-foot main channel by the end of this month.
Thousands of truckers, longshoremen, and business owners experienced the economic impact of the port’s closure.
