Dali Ship Engineer Admits Safety Flaw
Description
The chief engineer of the cargo ship Dali has admitted to a federal safety violation, acknowledging he knew about a deadly fuel system flaw that led to the ship’s power loss and catastrophic crash into Baltimore’s Key Bridge in March 2024 — killing six workers and halting East Coast shipping for nearly three months. Under a deferred prosecution deal, he could avoid charges if he complies with government conditions. Prosecutors say the faulty pump lacked backup power, and management tried to cover it up. The NTSB blamed a loose electrical connection and inadequate safety measures. Charges have already been filed against the ship’s operator and two affiliated companies, signaling a wider probe into accountability.
