The Coast Guard will oversee the safe and secure voyage of the motor vessel Dali Monday, as it transits to the Port of Virginia from the Port of Baltimore, where it has remained since the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the early hours of March 26.  During the transit, the Coast Guard Cutter Sailfish, an 87-foot Marine Protector-class patrol boat homeported in Virginia Beach, will provide a 500-yard safety zone around the Dali while Coast Guard watchstanders at command centers in the Fifth Coast Guard District, in Portsmouth, Virginia, Sector Maryland-National Capital Region and Sector Virginia will closely monitor the ship’s movement as it transits through each captain of the port zone.
