   Tomorrow morning, May 20, the container ship M/V DALI, which caused the collapse of the Key Bridge near Baltimore, will be refloated and moved to a local marine terminal 2.5 miles away.

   After overnight preparations, 5 tug boats will tow/push the vessel away during high tide at 5:24 a.m.

   The graphic below from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shows the steps and procedures of the operation.

   See thread at https://fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/112161857289027291 for info on the bridge collapse.

     Here is a view of the container ship M/V DALi and its surroundings yesterday, after parts of the bridge lying across its bow were cleared using small explosives on May 13.

     A dive survey was conducted this week in preparation for Monday's planned refloat and transit operation.

     The shipping channel is planned to be reopened by the end of the month.

     The container ship M/V DALI, which caused the collapse of the Key Bridge near Baltimore, has been refloated and has been towed to a local marine terminal 2.5 miles away.

     It's interesting that the containers on the vessel were not offloaded prior to the move.
