Cargo ship Dali apparently lost power before striking bridge pillar in Baltimore
https://www.newser.com/story/348224/ships-mayday-call-may-have-saved-lives.html The cargo ship: The Singapore-flagged container ship Dali is owned by Grace Ocean but had been chartered by Danish shipping company Maersk and was operating on a route between Baltimore and Asia, per CNN and the Guardian.
Prior collision: Built in 2015, the ship collided with the quay while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, only a year later. "Its bow reportedly swung around, causing the stern to scrape the side of the quay, significantly damaging several meters of the hull," though no injuries were reported, per the Guardian.
Recent deficiency: Authorities in San Antonio, Chile, gave the ship a second "deficiency" for "propulsion and auxiliary machinery"—gauges, thermometers, etc. in June 2023, per the New York Times. The ship was last inspected in September, by the US Coast Guard, with no deficiencies reported, per the AP.
