With a large chunk of the Key Bridge roadway still on the foredeck and as high tide hit the Patapsco River, the MV Dali returned to a pier in the Port of Baltimore after being successfully refloated and having underwater debris cleared overnight, the Baltimore Sun reports, about eight weeks after the March 28th accident. Last Monday, engineers used explosive charges to break-up wreckage atop the ship, and salvagers removed the wreckage around Dali.
As the ship was pushed by tugboats into the Seagirt Marine Terminal to unload the remaining containers and undergo repairs: a 30-foot gash could be seen in the bow off the ship, with entire containers seen pushed deep into the hull. Even though the ship has been moved, it will be at least a couple weeks before the Port of Baltimore is fully operational while salvage crews remove underwater scrap.
