3月26日,那是一个风和日丽的日子,然而,一场突如其来的意外打破了巴尔的摩港的宁静。Dali号集装箱船在缓缓驶离这座繁忙港口的时候,突然间失去了电力与前进的动力,仿佛一头失控的巨兽,无情地撞上了支撑Francis Scott Key大桥中央特拉斯跨度的南部码头。

那一刻,大桥的坚固身躯在巨大的冲击力下显得如此脆弱,大部分结构随之轰然坍塌,尘土与碎片四处飞溅,现场一片狼藉。


这场突如其来的灾难,给正在大桥上辛勤工作的施工人员带来了沉重的打击。六名施工人员不幸受重伤,他们的身体在剧烈的撞击中遭受了严重的创伤,痛苦与恐惧交织在他们的脸上。而另一名施工人员更是伤势惨重,生命垂危。与此同时,Dali号上的一名船员也在混乱中受了伤,他们的命运在这一刻被无情地改写。


时间仿佛在这一刻凝固,救援人员迅速赶到现场,但面对如此巨大的灾难,他们的努力显得如此微不足道。直到5月20日,经过无数次的尝试与努力,救援人员才终于将Dali号重新浮起。这艘饱经风霜的巨轮,在众人的注视下缓缓驶向弗吉尼亚州,卸载其剩余的箱子。



随后,在9月下旬,它离开了美国水域,踏上了前往中国的漫长旅程,最终抵达了福建华东造船厂进行大修。

福建华东船厂,这座位于中国东南部的修船巨擘,以其精湛的技艺和强大的实力,成为了Dali号重生的希望之地。这里年修船能力高达250艘,是众多船只寻求庇护与修复的港湾。


然而,Dali号的这次意外,却让它成为了许多诉讼的焦点。格雷斯海洋公司和Synergy公司不得不面对美国司法部提出的民事索赔。这笔索赔金额高达1.02亿美元,要求他们赔偿桥梁倒塌后清理残骸和通往巴尔的摩港的航道所需的费用。尽管双方最终达成了和解,但业主和管理人员却坚称,和解并不意味着承认责任。



与此同时,马里兰州也在积极寻求重建这座大桥的资金。据估计,重建过程可能需要长达四年的时间,耗资更是高达19亿美元。这是一笔巨大的开销,对于马里兰州来说无疑是一个沉重的负担。


而Grace Ocean和Synergy公司则试图将其责任限制在4300万美元左右。这场关于责任与赔偿的较量,将在2026年6月的法庭上展开激烈的审理。在这场漫长的法律战中,每一方都在为自己的利益而奋力抗争,而Dali号的那次意外,也将永远铭刻在历史的长河中,成为一段令人难以忘怀的往事。




On 26 March, the container ship Dali was transiting out of Baltimore Harbour when it lost electrical power and propulsion and struck the southern pier supporting the central truss spans of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A major portion of the bridge subsequently collapsed.


Six construction crewmembers on the bridge were fatally injured, one construction crewmember was seriously injured. One crew member on board the Dali was also injured.



It took salvors until 20 May to refloat the Dali, later sailing to Virginia to offload its remain boxes. The vessel departed US waters en route to China in late September and had arrived at Fujian Huadong Shipyard for extensive repairs.


Fujian Huadong Shipyard is one of the major ship repair yards in Southeast China, with a ship repair capacity of around 250 vessels per year.


The Dali is at the centre of a number of lawsuits. Grace Ocean and Synergy have already settled a civil claim brought by the US Department of Justice for the costs of clearing the wreckage and the channel to the port of Baltimore following the bridge collapse for just under $102 million. 



The owners and managers stated that the settlement was not an admission of liability.


The state of Maryland is suing for the costs of rebuilding the bridge which is has estimated that it will cost up to $1.9 billion in a process that is likely to take four years.


Grace Ocean and Synergy are attempting to limit their liability to around $43 million in a case that will now be heard in June 2026.
