The owner and operator of the cargo ship Dali, Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Group, have agreed to a settlement of approximately $102 million with the U.S. Justice Department following the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March. The settlement addresses federal cleanup costs, ensuring taxpayers are not burdened, and follows a lawsuit filed by the Justice Department for compensation related to debris clearance and port reopening. The incident, attributed to poor maintenance leading to a loss of power, caused six fatalities and halted commercial shipping traffic until June. The agreement does not cover the reconstruction costs of the bridge, for which the state of Maryland is seeking separate damages. Additional funds were allocated to address oil pollution caused by the incident.
