The Justice Department sued the owner and operator of the container ship Daly, alleging negligence and risky cost-cutting decisions that caused the ship to enter and destroy Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. “By the time the ship finally dropped anchor, less than half a ship’s length from the bridge, it was too late to have any effect,” it says. Another last-minute emergency order to send full power to a bow thruster to turn the ship brought the response that the thruster was “not available,” according to an image of the ship’s log in the court document.
