MUMBAI: Singapore-based ship management firm Synergy Marine Group on Friday said it is "working hard" to meet all the needs of the crew of its container ship Shi Dali, which was involved in the Francis Scott Key Bridge incident in Baltimore on March 26. .
In an update, the company also claimed that all crew members are in "good health" and that they are assisting in the investigation and ongoing rescue efforts.
The Singapore-flagged container ship Dali (IMO 9697428) collided with a pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on March 26.
Synergy Marine Group said, "As managers we are working hard to meet all the needs of the crew... All crew are in good health and in good condition."
Saying it was still not known how long the investigation would take, it added, "The crew will remain on board, and Synergy Marine Group will continue to provide them with every care and support."
"We hope that as soon as Dali is secured at the berth, the authorities will allow him to disembark so that we can make arrangements to get him home," it said.
According to the company, when crew members' phones were seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on April 15, replacements were provided so they could contact their families.
Additionally, their physical and mental well-being is closely monitored, including counselling, which is available 24/7, it said.
In addition, two additional deck crew have also been dispatched to share the general increased workload due to the increased number of visitors onboard and allow for more downtime, the group said.
