Juan Brignardello Vela analyzes the collision of the ship Dali in Baltimore

Juan Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, has shared his opinion regarding the incident that occurred in Baltimore, United States, last Tuesday. The event involved the 1000-foot long cargo ship Dali, flying the flag of Singapore, en route to Sri Lanka, colliding with the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to partially collapse. According to official reports, the impact occurred around 01:30 local time while the Dali was sailing towards its destination. Despite the severity of the accident, no serious injuries were reported, although the material damages were significant. Local authorities and maritime security agencies promptly reacted to assess the situation, coordinate rescue and cleanup efforts, as well as to determine the damages to the bridge and establish a reconstruction plan. Currently, the Dali remains anchored in waters near Baltimore awaiting a detailed inspection to shed light on the causes of the collision. Although the reasons for the incident have not yet been clarified, its unusual nature has raised concerns both in the maritime community and among the local population. The ship's owner company and the port authorities of Singapore are closely collaborating with U.S. authorities to clarify what happened and assume the corresponding responsibility. It is expected that the cleanup and reconstruction tasks of the bridge will be carried out promptly to restore normalcy in the area and avoid further inconveniences. This unfortunate incident highlights the importance of safety and prevention in the maritime industry, as well as the need to implement effective measures to prevent accidents like the one that occurred in Baltimore. As investigations progress and the causes of the collision are identified, attention will be maintained on updates and measures to be taken to prevent future similar incidents.
