The U.S. Justice Department on May 12, 2026, unsealed an 18-count federal indictment against the Singapore-based operator of the container ship Dali and its technical superintendent for conspiracy, obstruction, and misconduct resulting in death in the March 2024 collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. The charges, filed alongside a $2.25 billion civil settlement with Maryland, allege the companies forged safety inspections and used improper fuel pumps that caused a second blackout, turning what the NTSB traced to a single loose wire into a fatal collision that killed six construction workers and shut down one of America's busiest ports for months.
