The Dali was reportedly detained in Belgium after scraping side of quay and significantly damaging part of hull in good weather

The same vessel that hit the Baltimore Key Bridge on Tuesday, destroying it and sending people and vehicles tumbling into the water, was also involved in a collision while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016.

According to Vessel Finder and the maritime incident archive Shipwrecklog, the Dali – a 948ft (290-meter) cargo ship with a capacity of 10,000 containers – was leaving the container terminal of Antwerp heading to Bremerhaven.

As it did so, its bow reportedly swung around, causing the stern to scrape the side of the quay, significantly damaging several meters of the hull.

The ship was reportedly detained by authorities afterward and docked in Deurganckdok, Belgium. There were reportedly no injuries or adverse pollution.

I assume this just means the crash wasn't caused due to rough waters, which and make it hard to navigate

Pilot: "Captain, we just hit the quay!!"

Captain: "Yes, but look how beautiful it is outside!"

Captain's Wife: " You care more about the weather than anything else, including me! I want a divorce!"

Captain: "alright, but check out those lovely cumulus clouds!"
