Future unclear for Dali and its crew after bridge collapse

If the USCG says no it is no.

@@AlbertHess-xy7ky Wrong, CBP issued the detained form basis all parties agreeing to the action.

@@vincentmonica2389 The USCG said no.

They're still part of a criminal investigation and are still under contract with their employer.

They are all incompetent? Even the cook?

It was not a collision, it was allision.

It has had prior significant issues?

@AlbertHess-xy7ky I read somewhere apparently it did have some sort of incident in a port in Europe a while back.

@@brianbarbarich1401 A very minor concerns.

Ship that hit Baltimore bridge also involved in 2016 Antwerp accident By Reuters March 26, 20249:40 PM GMT+2Updated March 26 (Reuters) - The ship that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on Tuesday was also involved in an accident in the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016. The Antwerp port authorities said the container ship Dali hit a quay on July 11, 2016, as it tried to exit the North Sea container terminal. A 2016 inspection of the vessel conducted in Antwerp found it had a structural issue, which was stated as “hull damage impairing its seaworthiness," according to data published on Equasis, a public database for the shipping industry. The port authorities said the ship had remained at the dock for repairs for some time after the incident. "As a general rule, these accidents are investigated and ships are only allowed to leave after experts have determined it is safe for them to do so," a spokesperson for Antwerp port told Reuters. The Belgian nautical committee, which investigates such incidents, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson representing the ship's owner could not immediately be reached.

@AlbertHess-xy7ky see above report from Reuters. Some damage done to ship.

I think I read there was a gas pipe line under it. It needs to be floated off, not dragged?

How much will that cost?

They came here legally.

​@@phlodel and need to leave legally

They are overseas contractors with special visa's, they can be here in the boat but can't actually touch the soil.

@@DrCranberry Nice way to miss the point. +10

Its a paperwork issue.

No, and some systems may not function, their work schedule is disrupted, and they are subject to stress that is not part of usual working at sea.

Yeah it's annoying to me that the news has jumped on this recently. Why the hell would anybody expect the crew to not be on the ship? That's where they live.

@@liam3284 Exactly what systems would not be functioning? Do you know anything about these ships?

The crew including the Captain and the Pilot. are responsible for the operation of the vessel. The entire crew owes a debt to this country for affecting our economy. These are facts.

This country has established procedures and oversight to prevent ships from destroying bridges by accident. If the procedures are not sufficient, this country should improve the procedures and the oversight instead of blaming the ship for having an accident.

@@eljanrimsa5843 How much will that cost? How should the bridge be rebuilt?

@@AlbertHess-xy7ky I guess there are two options: For new bridges, surround the structural elements of the bridge with higher ground, so that big ships will run aground before they can do catastrophic damage. For existing bridges, provide enough tugboats and require big ships to remain under tow until the last vulnerable bridge is cleared.

@@AlbertHess-xy7ky You really can't see how the captain is fundamentally different than the rest of the crew?

How about feeling sorry for the people that died, wasn't an Accident

Probably

The Democrats are in charge,,,what do you expect???

The level of incompetence in ramming a bridge with your ship should be of a higher worry, yes?

I was marveled by that woman`s hips

​@@mrcoz1764Yay boy!

Is that how should go down if a US ship is involved in an incident in Mexico?

No big deal, The American taxpayers will foot the bill when all is said and done.

This ship was under charter to largest containership company in the world. Denmark owes us.

I think this ship seen the last of it's days. I do not think the owners are goign to want to put in all the extra money to repair the ship's structure damage plus mechanical failures after this. The owners taking it out and sinking it after everyone has done all their investigations might just be the best option. I don't think anyone would even buy that to repair it after it's reputation.

Ridiculous

The ship has crew from many countries. It is not an Indian vessel. The ship must be crewed until it is along side a pier. They may not abandon ship.

I think the untold story here is that the clearance operations go a lot smoother with an experienced crew on the ship who can switch on power when necessary. The ship may also float again at an, due to tides and weather, not entirely predictable point in time. Since a ship of this size may do a lot of damage when drifting, you'd want to stay the crew on all the time. And since there is no way you could force an American crew to stay on a damaged ship 24/7, it's quite convenient that it's just some Indians who are not allowed to leave the ship without visa.

@@eljanrimsa5843that ship will be recycled steel after the investigation

Singapore and India are 2 different countries.

@@PassionofDance212 The flag and citizenship of the crew are boring. The ship is operated by biggest container company in the world.

Your company will be firing you for not turning it over. You may arrested for concealing evidence. Or holding on to state secrets. Trump 2024...

Most all all ships and airliners built in the last decade have glass bridges/cockpits? Are naval and aerospace engineers criminals? Do you base your opinion on your PhD, Master, Undergraduate, High School degrees or your GED? Trump 2024. Trump Forever.

"Adequate" protective dolphins would cost as much as the bridge, There are are least 100 other bridges in this country with the same exposure to vessels not under command. Who will pay for the upgrade. There is no free lunch today .

no it was built to the spec of 1972 and this was a planned collision

@@jeffreymiller6847 Time to upgrade your tinfoil hat.

It is always like this, authorities know of disaster looming but do nothing about it until it is too late.

@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq We have at least 100 similar bridge/channel situations. What should be done? How much will it cost? Should this bridge be replaced?

“They can’t do any online banking. They can’t pay their bills at home. They don’t have any of their data or anyone’s contact information, so they’re really isolated right now,” It was to be expected: America sees them as illegal migrants. Does MTG keep an eye on them? Blaring through a bullhorn: "You smell of illegality! You suck up our social security! Go baaaaack to where you came from!" This way she hopes to be re-instituted as Queen of the House again, I guess. [/sarcasm and disapproval]

What human rights are they being denied? They have everything they need on board the ship.

Well maybe they shouldn't have rammed a bridge & killed a buncha people? How about some sympathy for those construction workers who lost their lives & their families have received nothing.

@@appleintosh The upload points at the problem that their salaries are frozen so they cannot send money to their families at home. It's not fair to brand them as illegal migrant criminals. If one is responsible for the crash, it's the captain.

@@willemvandeursen3105 Where is it being said that they’re not being paid?

FBI harassing the crew. The officers of the crew might (and note I said "might") be liable for things that happend, but the mere seamen and machine workers are not.

The FBI usually doesn't pull people out of their homes during investigations. The ship is their home, therefore they're still on the ship.

@@appleintosh The ship is not their home,the ship is their workplace. Their home is where their family is.

@@boataxe4605 They live on the ship for months or even years at a time. It is, in every sense of the word, their home.

@@appleintosh They don’t live on it for years, and many do have homes and wives and children. I know that they legally can’t step onto US soil (not as if that has stopped anyone) but one would think that the non officers could be taken off of the ship,bussed directly to the airport,and sent home.

Until criminality has been ruled out it is under FBI jurisdiction. 'international court' , 'Shotgun', 'Constitutional government of America', 'with shipping treaty’s of the Vessel its crew of Home port" - ignorant blather.

The F.B.I. is the lead investigative agency of the U.S. They are totally involved in figuring this out. A "fly team" of elite agents will oversee this incident. ..

They probably have starlink internet on the ship. Remember that they're usually in the middle of the ocean. They wouldn't be relying on cellular data.

Wasn't a pilot at the helm?

@@peterfreeland7643 I would think the pilot doesn't have in depth knowledge of the ship's condition. Ships are supposed to be in seaworthy condition when the pilot takes over.

Head Pilot and second Pilot​@@peterfreeland7643

He knew the ship had had Problems. Do you know if the ship had problems when it departed?

@@peterfreeland7643 Pilots never take the helm . Cap[tians never take the helm, except in extremis.

Yes, of course. This is MY post. With no permission or acknowledgement?

@@user-co7fb6qe5w You have credit for the post. It was excellent and should be broadcast. BTW, you post anonymously so what should be the process?

@@alanstevens1296 I'm sorry for the mis communication. I don't mind if you share it I just would like to be acknowledged I don't know how to post/label my name. Perhaps you could assist me? I didn't just go off the handle and spew any unfounded nonsense I researched thoroughly but most of my factual sources were scrubbed within 24 hours.( what does that tell you?) I had multiple and respected reports, videos and confirming data. I'm not some kind of conspiracy theorist but I've been lied to from our government many times before. Whenever they avoid the obvious and emphasize the unwarranted or irrelevant info I immediately smell deception/ deflection. I understand nobody wants to claim responsibility for such a catastrophic ( yet 100 % preventable) in incident. It offends me when we are treated as inconsequential sheeples. Bottom line this incident was caused by negligence in a number of different levels. So sad that people still choose profit over mandated safety guidelines, regulations and protocol. Some of the facts are now starting to trickle out. Time will tell if they are going to spin the story or provide hard, factual and honest facts. I'm Dan Holmes, nice to know someone else is seeking the truth.

@@user-co7fb6qe5w As a former highway engineer I am outraged for other reasons. Like all the focus by some officials on why the bridge fell down rather than focusing on the why this monster ship was out of control in a crowded harbor.

@@alanstevens1296 As highway engineer you should be aware that this ship is not a monster. Much bigger ships use this channel. The ship had an engine failure, they are quite rare. Trucks knock down bridges, fairly often, fix that.

Where is the outrage by the US tax payers that will have to foot the bill to replace the bridge?

@@jdgo3483 huh

How much has that cost you?

Covering up for what exactly?

It was no accident

It can be fixed.

The ship absolutely will be repaired. They'll put a whole new bow section on if needed. It's been done before.

What's weird is thinking that a priest wouldn’t be involved in relief efforts.

Why. Where would they go. They have no family in the US. The crew is still needed to operate the things on the boat.

With the Epstein Island port temporarily closed, shipping children around the world is becoming increasingly difficult.

They could be terrorist.

They got replacement phones, just not with their own personal SIM cards. They still have working phones with working SIM cards. It's 100% normal to confiscate personal electronics during criminal investigations.

Confiscating personal electronics during criminal investigations is 100% normal and is done all the time, even to US citizens.

They play a different tune every day. Of course, that’s what an accordion is for. 🎶🎶

Steel gets heavier when it soaks up water, don't you know.

Its not "You Americans" its our Gov and Lying news media

YOUR CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON

Sufisfion.

When the bridge was designed and built, the designers had no way to know that ships would get so big and so heavy in the years that followed!

@@iankravitz5723 So they couldn't have built dolfins to protect the bridge in the years since the bridge was built, have they not heard of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge?

There is some truth in that mark1941me.

Crew members have adequate accommodation onboard. They normally do contracts from 4 to about 8 months onboard the ship. They have food and water and are still getting paid. Even although the ship is currently stationary it is still a working ship so crew need to be onboard. I can understand that the crew, especially senior officers and Captain and Chief Engineer must be feeling the heat and having sleepless nights, and having to continuously deal with Athorities, Owner, Charterer, Lawyers, Insurance Company and other relevant parties. When an accident happens in USA waters things are taken very seriously, especially investigations to establish the cause of accident including all things leading up to accident that may have contributed. This will be a long drawn out exercise and very costly for certain involved parties.

@brianbarbarich1401 The journey from Baltimore to Sri Lanka only takes 27 days. It has been 52 days and counting. You don't need 20 crew members to keep a ship afloat; 5 to 7 at most is sufficient, as the crew usually works in rotation. Additionally, a ship will always stop every 3 to 4 weeks for maintenance, rest, and refueling along its itinerary. Please stop, just stop. Ty🙏

@passerau are you a seafarer or ex seafarer? Your points seem like they from a person who does not have a clear understanding about how shipping actually works and with the relevant laws pertaining to how many crew members need to be onboard a vessel at any one time.

Are you saying that the accommodations on the ship are not adequate considering its the accommodations the crew has when they are at sea for months at a time.

@regould221 your question is not understandable. Please ask in a clear, consice manner relating to seafarers onboard ship's. I have been a seafarer for many years and your questions are confusing and display lack of shipping knowledge.

"fair resolution" means the shipping company pays the entire cost of the salvage, reconstruction and wrongful deaths. Until then the ship, officers and crew should be held pending settlement.
