The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report about the crash earlier this week, which did not include a probable cause. Those findings will be part of a final report that could take investigators up to two years to complete.

“Without the final report, I don’t think the vessel is going anywhere” far from Baltimore, Duan said.`

In the meantime, he hopes nonessential crew members will be allowed to get off the ship and stay temporarily on dry land to “ease their mental stress.”

They could literally be stuck living on an immobile cargo ship for 2 years. That's insane.

Luckily they've been refloated and towed today (I think it's probably because they read my post haha) https://www.worldcargonews.com/news/2024/05/dali-refloated-and-taken-under-tow/
