In a complaint Sept. 18, the U.S. claimed civil damages totaling $103,078,056 under the Rivers and Harbors Act, the Oil Pollution Act and general maritime law, according to the release.
There are still dozens of outstanding civil claims, including one from the state of Maryland, seeking damages from the owners of the Dali.
According to the Justice Department, Thursday's settlement does not include damages to rebuild the bridge because Maryland built, owned, maintained and operated it.
The Dali smashed into the Key Bridge early March 26 after it left the Port of Baltimore en route to Sri Lanka.
The ship lost power, regained power, then lost power again before it hit the bridge, causing it to collapse into the Fort McHenry Channel.
