The Department of Justice stated that the Dali was an abjectly unseaworthy vessel, with a jury-rigged transformer that directly contributed to the fatal collision.
The civil claim seeks over $100 million in damages linked to federal cleanup efforts, notably after the collision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge that killed six.
Evidence indicating that the owner and manager were aware of the ship's vibration problems before the collision could significantly impact the ongoing legal proceedings.
The lawsuit reveals that the ship's owners attempted to limit their liability to $44 million shortly after the incident, which has provoked multiple other lawsuits.
