AMPI is deeply saddened by the recent incident in Baltimore involving the container ship MV Dali. Our sympathies and condolences go out to all those affected by the tragedy – the families of those impacted, the community of Baltimore, the crew and marine pilots and the first responders. We echo the position of many in the shipping industry that it is of paramount importance to care for the people involved.
As an organisation, AMPI has been asked to comment on the incident. However, we urge all to show restraint, avoid speculation and assumptions and to give space to the United States’ National Transport Safety Bureau (NTSB) and relevant authorities to conduct their investigations.
Pilotage standards in Australia are amongst the highest in the world. AMPI stands ready to work with industry stakeholders to use any lessons learned from this tragic event to continue to improve the processes that ensure safety and security of trade. ... See MoreSee Less

The Pilot did a fantastic job getting that bridge shut down before the collision and saved a lot of lives. Take a look at the traffic on the video just before the collision, it could have been a much worse disaster.
