- More views of Sunday’s 440-ton lift 🏗️ The Chesapeake 1000 is the largest floating crane on the Eastern Seaboard, and removing these large pieces will help open a Limited Access Channel that allows one-way ship traffic to the @portofbalt. #FSKBridge
00:00 - Re-float update: The M/V DALI became buoyant at roughly 6:40 a.m. As of 7:00 a.m., it is currently being moved by tugboats under favorable environmental conditions. #FSKBridge
- A Unified Command longshoreman stands next to a massive 200-ton hydraulic salvage grab that arrived this weekend at Sparrows Point after a weeklong barge journey from Galveston, Texas. 🏗

- Watch: Small charges were detonated by the Unified Command today to remove the large “section four” truss resting on the bow of the M/V DALI. 🚢🏗️ This step completely disconnected the ship from the #FSKBridge wreckage in the water and federal navigation channel.
00:00 - In this 6x speed timelapse from Friday afternoon, Unified Command salvors use the crane barge Chesapeake 1000 to move a large piece of supporting steel at the #FSKBridge site. 🏗️ Wreckage removal is ongoing to safely and efficiently open the Fort McHenry channel.
00:00 - NEW TODAY: Unified Command salvors use the crane barge Chesapeake 1000 to move a large piece of supporting steel from the collapsed #FSKBridge on Sunday.
- The Key Bridge Response Unified Command is scheduled to use precision cuts made with small charges to remove a large section of the #FSKBridge wreckage from on top of the M/V DALI.
00:00 - Salvage crews on June 3-4 successfully removed the final large steel truss blocking the full 700’ wide federal channel, a two-day lift requiring concrete breakers, underwater surveys, & oxyacetylene torches to separate tons of #FSKBridge concrete roadway, cable, and steel rebar.

- The first commercial vessel transited through the Limited Access Channel at the #FSKBridge site Thursday, part of scheduled passages for a limited number of commercial vessels into the @portofbalt and a departure opportunity for deep draft vessels unable to leave the harbor.
- Before ➡️ After — Unified Command salvors are this week continuing wreckage removal from the M/V DALI in preparation for the removal of the "section four" bridge span and refloating of the vessel, including cuts to this large concrete #FSKBridge pier. 🏗
