BREAKING: FBI agents have boarded another ship managed by company connected to Key Bridge collapse for ‘law enforcement activity’ in Baltimore

FBI agents have boarded a vessel that is managed by the same company that was in charge of the ship called the Dali that collapsed the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, Maryland earlier this year. The second ship, called the Maersk Saltoro, is managed by the Synergy Marine Group.

According to CBS News, a spokesman for the FBI in Maryland said, "The Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Criminal Investigation Division and Coast Guard Investigative Services are present aboard the Maersk Saltoro conducting court authorized law enforcement activity." Authorities did not offer any more specifics when the outlet reached out for comment. 



Grace Ocean, the company that was the registered owner of the ship that crashed into the Key bridge earlier this year, confirmed that the FBI as well as the Coast Guard went aboard the Maersk Saltoro when it was in the Port of Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday, per CNBC.  

In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, the Department of Justice sued the owners of the cargo ship that caused the collapse, claiming $100 million in damages. The lawsuit names Grace Ocean as well as the Synergy Marine Group, alleging "that the Dali’s owner and operator recklessly cut corners in ways that risked lives and the economic well-being of the nation." 

Darrell Wilson, a spokesman for Grace Ocean, previously said that the owner and manager of the vessel “look forward to our day in court to set the record straight” about the lawsuit concerning the bridge collapse. 

Both companies are from Singapore and the DOJ is looking to recover the damages from having clear the underwater debris as well as reopen the city's port with the lawsuit.
