After 55 days stuck in the Patapsco River, the Dali cargo ship was hauled away from the site of its catastrophic crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge – a crucial step toward fully reopening the busy Port of Baltimore.
And the FBI confiscated their cellphones and other methods of communication?
The FBI did seize their phones but the crew has received new phones from aid groups along with a Hotspot that was provided awhile ago.
Why the fuck are poor foreign workers being treated like that when we’re letting the company almost completely off the hook?
The crew has been stuck on the ship because they are essential to the recovery process. The crew knows how to operate the ship and all of it’s machinery. They’ve been responsible for keeping pumps on board the ship running and ensuring there’s no flooding as the clean up goes on.
The real question is now that the ship is back at a berth and in a position where only a skeleton crew is needed why hasn’t the US granted any emergency visas to the crew so they can start rotating shore leave?

What I heard on the news is that the crew received replacement phones with no SIM cards. So… thanks for nothing, friends?
Or do the crew have their own SIM cards or internet access on board?
Close. They didn’t get their sim card back
I said in my post they have a Hotspot so they have wifi.
