Boeing is expecting slower growth in production and deliveries of 787 Dreamliners, on the back of shortages of key components, CNBC reported on Monday, citing a memo to Boeing staff. “We have shared with our customers that we expect a slower increase in our rate of production and deliveries,” 787 vice president and general manager Scott Stocker noted in the memo. The company was turning out five Dreamliners a month as of last year, and had announced in January that it wished to ramp up to about 10 a month, CNBC said.

Background: The aircraft maker has slowed down output and deliveries of its 737 Max planes, after an Alaska Airlines flight operating the model was forced to make an emergency landing when a panel blew out mid-flight in January.

The city of Baltimore has filed a court claim against the Dali’s owner and manager, claiming mismanagement in the events leading up to the vessel’s catastrophic collision with a bridge last month, and that the vessel was “unseaworthy” when it left port, the Washington Post reported on Monday. The city’s attorneys further asked the court not to cap the Dali’s owners and managers’ liabilities at USD 43.6mn, citing that liabilities can not be capped if a party was at fault.
