Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Federal Government should recoup monies from the Synergy Marine Group and Maersk Line Limited to compensate taxpayers for certain damages resulting from the allision of the cargo shipping vessel the Dali with the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, 2024, and for other purposes.

HRES 1116 is a non-binding House resolution expressing that the federal government should seek reimbursement from Synergy Marine Group and Maersk Line Limited for taxpayer costs related to the March 26, 2024, collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The bridge collapsed when the cargo ship Dali lost power and struck a support pylon, causing infrastructure damage, supply chain disruption, and a financial burden on taxpayers. The resolution states the responsible companies - Synergy (which chartered the vessel) and Maersk (a charterer) - should bear the costs, not taxpayers, and urges monitoring of legal actions. It does not create new law or mandate recoupment, but formally states the House’s position on corporate accountability.
