A large container ship crashed into the bridge in Maersk
According to reports, at about 1:30 am EST on March 26th, a large container ship "DALI" with a capacity of 9962TEU crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, USA, causing the bridge to collapse, causing many cars and more than 20 people to fall into the river. Reports show that the bridge was seriously damaged and half of it was flooded.
According to the data,"DALI"(IMO9697428）flies the Singapore flag, is operated by Maersk, and is deployed on the route from Asia to the east coast of the United States. The ship was built in 2015, with a length of 300 meters and a width of 48 meters, and a maximum container capacity of 9962 TEU, including 1,400 cold box slots.
The accident occurred after the DALI left Baltimore Port. Ship positioning data showed that the DALI had previously called Yantian, Xiamen, Ningbo, Yangshan, Busan, New York, Norfolk and Baltimore.
The search is ongoing, and the cause of the accident is unclear. There are reports of a gap in the hull of the ship that caused it to tilt to one side, and there are reports of a strong smell of diesel oil. However, there is no official confirmation of these reports.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge, which was opened in March 1977, is 8,636 feet (2,632m) long on Interstate 695 in Maryland and encircles Baltimore. It is said to be the longest continuous truss bridge in Baltimore and the third longest in the world. It can carry an estimated 11.5 million vehicles per year.
国际海运公司马士基一大型集装箱船撞塌大桥
据报道，美国东部时间3月26日凌晨1点30分左右，一艘运力为9962TEU的大型集装箱船“DALI”号撞上美国巴尔的摩市弗朗西斯·斯科特基大桥(Francis Scott Key Bridge)，造成大桥倒塌，致多辆汽车和20多人坠入河中。报告显示，桥梁受损严重，一半被水淹没。
资料显示，“DALI”号(IMO:9697428）悬挂新加坡船旗，由马士基运营，部署在亚洲到美国东海岸航线上。该船建于2015年，长300米，宽48米，最大载箱量9962 TEU，其中包括1400个冷箱槽位。
事故发生于“DALI”号离开巴尔的摩港后。船舶定位数据显示，“DALI”号此前挂靠了盐田、厦门、宁波、洋山、釜山、纽约、诺福克、巴尔的摩等多个港口。
目前搜救正在进行中，尚不清楚事故原因。有报道称这艘船的船体有一个缺口，导致其向一侧倾斜，还有报道称有强烈的柴油气味。但目前并无官方证实这些消息。
弗朗西斯·斯科特基大桥于1977年3月启用，该桥长8636英尺(2632m)，位于美国马里兰州695号州际公路上，环绕巴尔的摩。据说它是巴尔的摩最长的连续桁架桥，也是世界第三长的连续桁架桥。每年估计可承载1150万辆汽车。
