Class-action lawsuit adds to a slew of other legal claims alleging the ship’s owner and manager sent an unseaworthy ship into U.S. waters
The cargo ship Dali is stuck under part of the structure of the Francis Scott Key Bridge after the ship hit the bridge, on, March 26, 2024.A group of Baltimore longshoremen have sued the owner and manager of the ship that caused the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, arguing the companies should compensate them for wages lost while the port was closed in the aftermath of the deadly disaster.
“This was equivalent for longshoremen what the world experienced during COVID, when everything stopped,” said plaintiff Ryan Hale, who’s worked at the port for over a decade. “I’ll never forget, I wake up in the morning, getting ready for work, turn on the news – I had to flip the channels twice to make sure it wasn’t a horror movie.”
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday on behalf of roughly 2,200 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association union. Darrell Wilson, a Grace Ocean spokesperson, has said the ship’s owner and manager “look forward to our day in court to set the record straight.”
