sThe company doing the work calls it "Salvage"....but there's little salvage ("saving") involved...it's a slice it up and haul it off operation. The parts will be recycled.
Remember, there are almost 10,000 brand new cars on board the ship that will have to be dealt with.
"Contractors will remove the wreck using the VB-10,000 floating crane to cut through the hull with a large diamond-cutting chain. The plan is to make seven cuts and remove eight large sections. Each section of the Golden Ray, weighing approximately 2,700 to 4,100 tons, will be lifted by the VB-10,000 onto a barge, then transported to a certified off-site recycling facility for further dismantling and recycling."
The work is expected to begin in two weeks.
