Federal prosecutors have charged two global shipping firms and a supervisor with criminal conspiracy, obstruction, and misconduct that they allege led directly to a container ship knocking down Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, 2024.

The collision killed six workers, shut down the ninth-busiest port in the United States for months, and caused more than $5 billion in damages and economic losses.
