The owner of the ship involved in the fatal collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge has been involved in other deadly incidents across the globe, an investigation from USA TODAY found.

The company, Synergy Marine Group, has had equipment that asphyxiated, killed or injured multiple people, including instances of crew members falling overboard, being struck by errant mooring lines or going missing after incidents, USA TODAY reported Tuesday.

“A USA TODAY review of global maritime incidents, ship inspection data, casualty reports and other publicly available documents reveal accidents, dangerous equipment and a string of injuries and fatalities — the latest of which claimed six lives when the Dali crashed into and destroyed the Baltimore bridge in March,” the paper reported.

The review found that 17 people were involved in fatal incidents related to Synergy equipment, and another three dozen have been injured. Three people are still missing after Synergy-related problems since January 2019, USA TODAY reported.

The investigation found that in 2022, a man died when a stack of 660-pound steel plates fell on him, according to German authorities, and separately, two men died that year after being smothered by hydrogen sulfide in Denmark.

Synergy is now the world’s third-largest shipping company and scrutiny of the business has grown after its vessel the Dali smashed into Baltimore’s major shipping artery, killing six construction workers, and bringing the area’s port to a near-standstill.

USA TODAY said data from maritime agencies, including the International Maritime Organization and the Coast Guard, were also used in its investigation.

Synergy did not respond to a request for comment from The Baltimore Sun.
