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. Fixed monitors and hydrographic surveys confirm that the r

Golden Ray Wreck Removal Faces Latest Setback But Work Continues – gCaptain

April 15, 2021 Crews working to cut up and remove sections of the Golden Ray shipwreck in St. Simons Sound, Georgia have restarted cutting operations on “Section Seven” after the cutting chain broke on two separate occasions over the last week. The St. Simons Sounds Incident Response says joining links in the cutting chain failed on April 7 and again on April 12, but divers and personnel aboard the VB-10000 have now reconnected the chain, allowing the cutting of the section to continue. Responders replaced larger profile joining links with slimmer Kenter joining links which are expected to optimize the cutting system. Meanwhile, wreck removal supervisors continue to perform routine inspections of the cutting apparatus and recommend equipment maintenance or replacement as needed.

Third Section Removed from Golden Ray Wreck – gCaptain

Crews have separated the latest section of the Golden Ray as the operation to cut and remove the wreck stretches into its fifth month. The St. Simons Sound Incident Response reports that Section Two was separated from the wreck on Monday just seven days after cutting began, marking an improvement from the previous three cuts. Section Two will now be lifted onto the Barge JULIE B and moved to facility at Mayors Point Terminal in Brunswick, Georgia. Once secured for ocean transit, the JULIE B will depart Brunswick for a ship recycling facility in Louisiana. “Section Two was cut and separated in seven days without any unplanned stoppages” said Incident Commander Chris Graff of Gallagher Marine Systems. “The speed of this cut was a result of the structural characteristics of the section combined with the cutting technique and pre-cutting operations.”
