USA rejser straffesag mod Synergy efter Baltimore-kollaps

De amerikanske myndigheder har rejst omfattende straffesager mod skibsmanager Synergy Marine Group og en teknisk superintendent efter container-skibet Dali’s påsejling af Francis Scott Key-broen i Baltimore i marts 2024. Ulykken kostede seks vejarbejdere livet og medførte økonomiske tab på mindst 5 mia. dollar.

Ifølge det amerikanske justitsministerium skyldes ulykken alvorlige sikkerhedsbrud om bord på det 9.962 TEU store containerskib. 

Efterforskningen peger blandt andet på brugen af en ikke-godkendt ”flushing pump” til brændstofforsyning af skibets generatorer, hvilket angiveligt forhindrede en korrekt genstart efter blackout, skriver Riviera News.

Samtidig har delstaten Maryland indgået et civilt forlig på 2,25 mia. dollar med skibets ejer Grace Ocean og Synergy Marine. Maryland fortsætter dog retssagen mod værftet Hyundai Heavy Industries, som ifølge den amerikanske havarikommission NTSB bar et medansvar for strømudfaldene om bord.

Synergy Marine afviser anklagerne og kalder dem ”grundløse”. Selskabet mener, at myndighederne kriminaliserer en maritim ulykke, som ifølge NTSB primært skyldtes en løs ledningsforbindelse i skibets elsystem.
