A Singapore-flagged ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland on Tuesday morning. The Dali, owned by Grace Ocean and managed by Synergy Marine Group, struck a support beam of the bridge causing it to collapse into the water.
The incident was captured on a YouTube livestream from StreamTime Live. The video showed the ship approaching the bridge around 1:24 a.m., with its lights turning off briefly before impact. The vessel then collided with the beam at around 1:28 a.m., resulting in the bridge collapsing in less than 10 seconds.
According to ship tracking data, the vessel involved in the crash was the Dali, owned by Grace Ocean and managed by Synergy Marine Group, both based in Singapore. Attempts to reach both companies for comment were unsuccessful.
Following the incident, the bridge was closed off by the Maryland Transportation Authority due to the collapse caused by the ship strike. The Baltimore Police Department reported a partial bridge collapse with workers possibly in the water. At the time of reporting, the Maryland Transportation Authority had not provided further comment to Business Insider.
