- The ship that caused the Baltimore bridge collapse will spend several weeks getting temporary repairs at the same marine terminal it occupied before beginning its disastrous voyage, then move to a shipyard in Norfolk for extensive repairs.

The bridge says: Goodbye Dali. Norfolk says: Hello Dolly!
The only private shipyard in Hampton Roads with a drydock big enough for the Dali is the Newport News Shipyard, so that's probably where it's going.
I doubt that it needs to be dry-docked. All the damage is well above the waterline. Upper bow replacement can be done without putting the ship into dry-dock.
My guess is that some shipyard in the Norfolk area is already fabricating the upper bow section.
While in the US Navy (USS Savannah AOR-4) we had a collision during an underway refueling/resupply opperation that badly crunched one of the underway refueling control stations. There was a newly fabricated one on the pier (complete with lights, outlet, switches, etc) waiting for us on the pier when we got back to Norfolk a month or so later.
All that had to be done was disconnect the power feed cable to the control station; cut if off, weld the new one on, run a new power feed cable to the junction box in the new control station; and then paint the weld area.
Meanwhile the Winch Division had pulled all the control panels out of the old station before we got to port, and they then installed them in the new control station (which had the base panel cabinets in place with all the correct holes in the right locations). They had to run a new control cables as well.
The entire replacement and return to service time was about 1 week once we were back in Norfolk - and was done at a normal Naval Pier.
@@perryallan3524 That was the Navy, though. We'll see.
@@nortyfiner But it's the same process. The ship blueprints are available. I suspect that knowledgeable people already have inspected the Dali and identified where to cut off the upper bow and which compartments to replace.
Then its just a fabrication job in a shipyard to fabricate a new upper bow - something that most any shipyard in the world can do. Then its just cut the power and any control cables, and cut off the old one, and weld in the new one (including internal compartment welds) and run new connecting power and control cables from the nearest junction box into the new bow section (which may have added junction boxes to reconnect the power and any control wires).
Banged up/damaged ships are a relatively common occurrence given the total number of ships in service, and ship sections get replaced routinely all over the world (and this would not be the 1st upper bow section replaced).
The footage I’d seen did not show the starboard bow. There is substantial damage. I can’t imagine the impact of bridge girders and actual roadway crashing down on her bow. Plus the impact of hitting the pier. Hopefully she gets some Major TLC at Norfolk.
Well, the wrongful death lawsuit of the victims families never got filed yet? Against the shipping company
The owners of the ship? The operator? The ship builder?
Could this possibly have been caused by an EMP ???? Just curious 🤔

Norfolk/Hampton Roads has tunnels under the main shipping channels.
Dali won't be able to hit any bridges there.
We need to think very carefully about how to cross critical shipping channels with highways.
For the Key Bridge: Build a 6,000 foot long tunnel. That was the original plan for the outer harbor crossing. The Key Bridge approach span piers were built on the causeways that were built for a tunnel.
We can't have a tunnel because of the hazmat we carry. We have two Baltimore tunnels now but we needed the key bridge for hazmats
@@kendras4291
There won't be any vehicles whatsoever crossing the harbor on I-695, for at least 4 years.
Only a small percentage of the Key Bridge traffic was hazmat, and most cargoes are not time critical and take whatever time it takes to ship them.
Besides there are certain surface roads that can be used for hazmat around the harbor area; not just I-695 West.
Regarding hazmat, it is not all or nothing, it depends on the facility.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (for example) has different levels of prohibitions and restrictions.
@@alanstevens1296 Thanks for speaking sense.
However to get anywhere near Norfolk the Dali has to go under part of the the Chesapeake Bay Bridge . As such they have to keep all the cargo onboard so that the ship sits low enough to go under that bridge.
So there are still bridges of concern for the trip.
@@alanstevens1296 honestly the Dali needs to be docked and never used again
Hello DALI !! It is so nice to have you back where you belong. Not looking well, DALI, what the Hell DALI, did you get knocked up?
What caused that bridge to collapse was a group of people who did not have any safety measures in place . And a harbor master who did not make sure that tugs were on that ship to make sure that ship did not get in trouble . Always have safety first .
What are their names? Should they be in jail?
You need to listen to the many videos.... it was not required. Perhaps it should be, but it was not.
@@darlenemassey6161 Perfect hindsight. What else should be changed?
ok
Helllooo Dali
No one knows that ship better than its own crew. I think there’s evidence to contradict that.
That is an ill-advised statement. Have you ever been on a container ship? They're massive and have things in places that most people even know there are places. If I asked you to locate the power source for the radar arrays I could give you 12 months and you wouldn't know where to start looking. They would know exactly where they are. That's their role. Can they efficiently operate the systems? Maybe not and that would be a fair point on your part. What appears to have happened to the Dali seems to be a mechanical/electrical failure and would not reflect on the crew's knowledge of what is where and operates what. The vessel has a Chief Engineer and what happened would seem to indicate that cause and effect started with him and his department.
@@mostlyinterested1016 the last time I looked, the engineer is part of a crew. And yes, I have been on a container ship.
@@Zak6959 Great, so you know just how intricate those darned things are and how complicated it is to know what's where and what works what. That's the plus of having the crew there; they know where to go to switch-on the "whatsit" whereas the salvage crew wouldn't know where to start. That was my point.
@@mostlyinterested1016 with the amount of agencies involved in this incident, I’m pretty sure they have enough experience to know where they go, for the investigation to find out why the vessel hit a bridge and killed six people. They’ll probably be bumping into each other, trying to get to the truth. PS those vessels are mostly empty space until they are loaded with containers.
@@Zak6959 Agreed on that but the investigation is totally removed from the need to get around the ship and know what makes what stop and go.
Loving all the "experts" & Karen-type comments...😆😆🤡😆 #americanblameculture
That crew knew they had high voltage and low voltage circuit shorts, the master and captain also knew she wasn't sea worthy. It's a crime scene
It is not like that. In port generator tripped twice. Once the crew member mistakenly closed exhaust outlet damper.
Second time it is due to low fuel pressure. We don't why there is a low fuel pressure.
During maneouvering the HV and LV tripped twice because of unknown reason. May be faulty circuit breaker. Even initial investigation still is not able to find out. These type accident will happen how much precaution we take
Absolute rubbish. Read the preliminary NTSB report and educate yourself.
@@scott6002 Educating oneself is probably beyond this commentor.
Thank you Mr. Knowitall
How did you come to that conclusion?
Reporters praising the crew and are trying to convince people of their value in the situation.
Wouldn't be a surprise if the White House offers reparations to the ship owner and the crew for damages and loss of income, all at the expense of US taxpayers.
Sec. of transportation....
"The bridge was obviously racist and deserved to be decommissioned."
"We are sorry for damage it caused and the hard feeling made across the globe, which America is solely responsible for."
"We are a flawed country with flawed infrastructure and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that we have created globally.
As a bridge builder and worker. I say the captain should be charged. Ultimately his call to leave port.
The company that kept a malfunctioning vessel in service should be charged. Stop blaming the working man.
@@gregorymalchuk272
The company that kept a malfunctioning vessel in service failed to make it seaworthy before leaving Seagirt.
I doubt the captain had the knowledge and skills and time to do that. He has to rely on the operator of the vessel ensuring that all systems are certified.
The ship had clear issues before departure. If a crane has issues in my line of work, and the operator is aware and proceeds anyway and someone gets killed, guess what!? The operator is charged, and the company may be held liable civily. However, it is taught that the operator is the final authority on if a piece of equipment is safe enough to use. Working men, like me, have a responsibility to ensure the safety of ourselves and all those we could affect around us.
@@gunsgoldandgreenery1990
I'm not an expert on shipping, but how could the captain know every system on the ship?
Did he reasonably know that the ship would have a total electrical failure?
@alanstevens1296 yeah it failed 3 times before leaving port
Damn, hide ya shit
Norfolk off
What about the 6 who died? Their families will never see them again. I have no sympathy for the captain and crew. The captain should be arrested and charged with manslaughter
You can't arrest people for an accident, and since the investigation is ongoing, whether or not the crew is to blame or just pure unfortunate circumstances has yet to be determined.
You are incorrect. They knew prior to leaving port that a generator had tripped due to a fuel pressure issue. That is not an electrical short. The question is why was there a fuel pressure problem - and I can think of at least 4 possibilities. A reality is equipment does degrade and malfunction. It may have been fixed by the replacement of a single component in the fuel supply system.
The 1st generator trip in port was a maintenance mistake of someone incorrectly closing a damper - and these kinds of mistakes do happen - and will continue to happen (all people make at least occasional mistakes). This trip had noting to do with the event.
Should all of the crew be put in jail?
That ship's a Jonah.
Must have got a 30000 gift card for a job well done
Let's see if they make this a 💩 show.
I’ve never seen such a weak railroad bridge. I’m sure mr biden will miss riding the train over it.
Railroad bridge? Man, the mental illness of these Fox News viewers.
I think we know what happened. That was a waste of time. When the new bridge is built. Through the crew the boat. Off of it
Huh??
