AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Federal prosecutors have indicted Synergy Marine— the Singapore‑ and India‑based operator of the MV Dali that struck Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, 2024—and its technical superintendent, Indian national Radhakrishnan Karthik Nair, charging them with conspiracy to defraud the United States, failure to alert the U.S. Coast Guard of a known hazardous condition, making false statements and obstructing a National Transportation Safety Board investigation. The indictment marks the first criminal case linked to the collision that killed six highway workers and caused the bridge’s collapse; investigators say the ship suffered two power outages, the second tied to the improper use of a “flushing pump” to fuel generators, a practice the company allegedly concealed. The crash has already generated billions of dollars in replacement costs, a $100 million settlement with the Justice Department, a recent settlement with Maryland, and numerous pending civil lawsuits from federal, state, local governments and victims’ families, all of which the operator and shipowner continue to contest.
