- Judge dismisses Dali owner’s lawsuit against shipbuilder over Key Bridge collapse
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by the Dali's owner and operator, Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private Limited, against shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries, which they claimed designed a defective vessel that caused the 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, killing six construction workers. The lawsuit alleged a design flaw in the ship's electrical system led to power loss and steering failure, with the National Transportation Safety Board reporting four blackouts before the collision.
