Update on removing the capsized Golden Ray


The two 255-foot tall gantries will use lengths of chain to cut the capsized vessel Golden Ray into eight pieces and lift them onto barges for eventual transportation to Louisiana for recycling. (Photos by U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer John D. Miller)




They'll position this device over the Golden Ray and cut it into 8 pieces.







The ship was hauling some 4,000 new cars of unknown manufacture* from the Brunswick Georgia port when it capsized on September 8th, 2019. 

*Some sources say they were Hyundai and Kia cars assembled in Mexico for shipment to the Middle-East, meaning they were transported practically right next to the Montgomery Hyundai plant to be taken by ship to The Middle-East? Something doesn't sound right.
