Progress Reported in Golden Ray Wreck Removal But Likely Several More Months Before Completion – gCaptain

Share this article The salvage and wreck removal of the capsized Golden Ray will continue for “several more months” in St. Simons Sound, Georgia, now more than a year and half since the car carrier ran aground with more than 4,000 vehicles inside. The St. Simons Sound Incident Response Unified Command updated the media on the extended operation on Monday after reporting the successful separation of “Section Seven” over the weekend. Section Seven proved to be the most difficult section to cut to date due to reinforced steel surrounding the ship’s engine room. Wreck removal personnel are now preparing the section for lifting operations by removing vehicles, moveable decks and sediment similar to earlier weight-shedding operations. Once lifted, the section will be loaded onto a barge and secured for transit to a facility at the local Mayors Point Terminal to undergo sea-fastening for an ocean transit to Louisiana.

Another section separated from Golden Ray wreck Tags:  Another section of the Golden Ray has been removed from the wreck.

Responders are now getting ready for a massive crane to lift that section onto a barge. Rope access technicians used a cutting torch to remove steel off the Golden Ray. This helped make it easier for an anchor chain to separate section seven from the rest of the shipwreck. Now that responders have finished this cut, it’s ready to be lifted onto a barge using the Versabar 10,000. It will first make a stop at Mayors Point Terminal for sea-fastening before heading to a recycling plant in Louisiana.

Responders, Environmentalists Brace For Possible Oil From Capsized Ship

  More than a year after the cargo ship Golden Ray capsized in the St. Simons Sound on its way out of the Port of Brunswick, most of it is still sitting in the water. Salvage crews are cutting it up, as they and environmental groups anxiously watch for a possible oil spill. Every day, Sue Inman checks the water and the beaches around St. Simons and Jekyll Island. She looks for oil or car parts from the Golden Ray, which had more than 4,000 cars on board when it capsized in September 2019. Inman is the Altamaha Riverkeeper’s Coast Keeper. She reports what she sees to the proper channels.
