Golden Ray Update: Work shifts to removing Section Two after cutting chain fails
Golden Ray Update: Work shifts to removing Section Two after cutting chain fails By WTOC Staff | February 28, 2021 at 10:15 PM EST - Updated March 1 at 12:09 AM
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (WTOC) - Responders have shifted their focus to Section Two of the Golden Ray wreck in St. Simons Sound after a link in the cutting chain failed on February 26, according to an update from St. Simons Sound Incident Response.
Last month workers began preparations to remove Section Seven of the Golden Ray.
The failure of the cutting chain has stalled additional work on Section Seven. The Unified Command (UC) has approved a plan to move the VB-10000 and begin cutting Section Two, according to the update. Cutline preparation is complete on this section of the ship, allowing work to continue without delay.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. – Salvage crews began a third cut into the cargo ship Golden Ray on Wednesday morning.
The bow and stern of the 656-foot car carrier that overturned leaving the Port of Brunswick in September 2019 have already been cut off, lifted and removed. The two sections of the ship will be transported by barge to Gibson, Louisiana, for dismantling and recycling.
An 80-pound anchor chain operated by a heavy lifting crane is tearing through the hull, cutting the ship into massive slices. The next section to go is Section 7, cutting right through the engine room.
