The companies that own and operate the ship that destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge are asking to put a long-awaited civil trial on hold after the U.S. Department of Justice announced criminal charges in the case last week.

A federal judge said he would not delay the civil case against the companies that own and operate the container ship that toppled the Francis Scott Key Bridge, finding Wednesday that new criminal charges don't justify halting a long-awaited June 1 trial.

A civil trial in the Key Bridge disaster is set to begin Monday in Baltimore’s federal courthouse. A judge will determine whether Synergy Marine Group and Grace Ocean Private can cap their liability in the bridge collapse at about $44 million, roughly the value of the container ship Dali and its cargo.
