Businessman Giannis Zoulis who comes from Kasos and lives, works and operates in Baltimore, USA, talks on “Fair Winds and Following Seas” about the collision-accident that occurred on the bridge “Francis Scott Key” of the American metropolis as the M/V “Dali” carrying a container after a total blackout fell on it resulting in collapse and killing 6 people. Among other things, he mentions that the incident took place about half an hour after the departure of the ship from the port of the city, while the pilots were still on board. “It strikes me that there were two pilots, while it is customary for there to be one to accompany the ship to the Ocean,” says the Greek expatriate.
“The fall of the bridge, which I often cross in my daily life, will have an economic impact on the economy of the city and the United States, since thousands of tons of Domino Sugar are loaded from the city’s port for the whole world. Thousands of tons of iron ore and cars are also transported through the Port of Baltimore. Long back in Baltimore, Liberty cargo ships were built.”
Finally, Giannis Zoulis concludes by stating that “there will be a traffic problem in the city, since it is one of the nodal axes of Baltimore”.
