 It appears that there is a potential connection between the company Synergy Marine Group, which managed the vessel where FBI agents boarded, and the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore. The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Grace Ocean Private and Synergy Marine Group, alleging that they recklessly ignored known electrical problems on another cargo ship (the Dali). This incident led to the collapse of the Baltimore bridge.
