"This $2.25 billion settlement reflects the full measure of accountability we were able to secure from the vessel interests," Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown said after resolving claims with the international shipping companies involved in the March 2024 tragedy that destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge and killed six highway maintenance workers in Baltimore.
The builders of the cargo ship that destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge are pushing back against Maryland’s claims that they share responsibility for the collapse, arguing that the vessel’s owners and operators failed to properly maintain the ship in the decade after it left the shipyard.
