Baltimore’s mayor has threatened legal action against a wide variety of interests connected with the container ship that slammed into a bridge in the city, collapsing the span, killing six construction workers, clogging traffic and shutting a port.
Mayor Brandon Scott said the city has hired two law firms to pursue legal action against “wrongdoers” responsible for the casualty involving the 9,962-teu Dali (built 2015), and city solicitor Ebony Thompson said it is time to hold the owner, manager, charterer, manufacturer and others accountable.
