Cargo ship that hit Baltimore bridge was involved in Antwerp collision in 2016
The Dali was reportedly detained in Belgium after scraping side of quay and significantly damaging part of hull in good weather
The same vessel that hit the Baltimore Key Bridge on Tuesday, destroying it and sending people and vehicles tumbling into the water, was also involved in a collision while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016.
According to Vessel Finder and the maritime incident archive Shipwrecklog, the Dali – a 948ft (290-meter) cargo ship with a capacity of 10,000 containers – was leaving the container terminal of Antwerp heading to Bremerhaven.
As it did so, its bow reportedly swung around, causing the stern to scrape the side of the quay, significantly damaging several meters of the hull.
The ship was reportedly detained by authorities afterward and docked in Deurganckdok, Belgium. There were reportedly no injuries or adverse pollution.
Ships obviously haunted by a vengeful spirit intent on causing as much damage as it can.
You can see that the vengeful spirit tore a hole in the side of the ship, and has escaped. So everything's fine now. Just need a new bridge.
How do we know the spirit didn't enter another ship? All we can do is hope that it finished what it needed to and has moved on.
Is this really all we can do?
You could call someone...
Who're you gonna call?
If your hot-dog tastes
Like a piece of wood
Who're you gonna call?
GHOST MUSTARD!
I did ask Albert to ask his friend Maersk. And I'm twiddling my thumbs. Like a lot. ;-)
