FBI Raids Cargo Ship Linked to Deadly Baltimore Bridge Collapse

Federal agents boarded the Maersk Saltoro, managed by the same company as the ship that caused the March disaster, amid ongoing investigations.

  • The FBI, Coast Guard, and EPA boarded the Maersk Saltoro, managed by Synergy Marine Group, in Baltimore on Saturday.
  • The raid follows a similar search of the Dali, the ship that collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March, killing six road workers.
  • The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit alleging reckless maintenance and electrical issues on the Dali, seeking over $100 million in damages.
  • Victims' families have filed court claims urging a judge to hold the ship's owner, Grace Ocean Private Ltd., accountable for the preventable disaster.
  • The collapse disrupted commercial shipping through the Port of Baltimore for months, with the channel fully reopening in June.
