The ship - The Singapore-flagged Dali - was operated by charter vessel company Synergy Marine Group and was chartered by Maersk, carrying Maersk customers' cargo.
There were 22 crew members, including two pilots, aboard the ship, according to a statement from Synergy. All 22 crew members are Indian nationals. Synergy said it had activated its incident response team and is cooperating with state and federal officials. Officials have confirmed that the ship lost power right before the collision. Moore said that the crew notified authorities of a "power issue."
Two U.S. officials said that multiple alarms rang out on the ship, alerting pilots and crew to an issue on board. The crew ran several system tests to attempt to remedy the loss of propulsion from the motor, but the tests proved unsuccessful. At that point, the pilot alerted the Maryland Department of Transportation and the Maryland Transit Authority.
Roughly two minutes elapsed between when the ship's pilot notified state authorities of an issue on board and when the bridge collapsed.
