Following the tragic collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March, a complex liability case is unfolding as the owner and manager of the container ship Dali attempt to shift blame. Attorneys for Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Group argued in court that Maryland state officials should have safeguarded the bridge against ship strikes and questioned the shipbuilder's installation of faulty electrical equipment on the Dali.
Claimants, including families of the six construction workers killed in the collapse, state and local governments, businesses, and longshoremen, have accused the companies of negligence in maintaining the Dali and sending an unseaworthy vessel into Maryland waters.
