In the last hour, efforts to refloat the Dali container ship that hit the Francis Guttke Bridge in Baltimore got underway. Recovery teams are hoping to use peak high tide to refloat the ship and bring it back to port. The Dali has been blocking the Port of Baltimore, impacting the flow of goods ranging from spices to cars and directly affecting fifteen thousand jobs.
The refloating process began overnight at 2 a.m. with crews working to bilge off water from the ship. Tugboats have been running up and down the channel to ensure a clear path for the ship's movement. High tide occurred at 5:24 a.m., and crews are taking advantage of this to maneuver the Dali into the secret terminal at the Port of Baltimore.
