Salvage of Capsized Golden Ray in Georgia

She is a near new vessel and only partly submerged. I have not seen anything saying that the Underwriters or Owners have declared constructive total loss. (??)

Removing in one piece, regardless of after use, MAY be quicker and safer and allow the port to fully reopen quicker.

From previous cases; removing cargo and cutting in place have taken a very long time.The Hyundai No. 105 wreck removal took nearly 18 months.
I was not involved, but watched the process every time I passed the site to/from Batam. (I got some pictures of the sections as they were loaded on barges somewhere)

Of course most of the cargo will probably have to be removed to righten the GR, unless the cars were secured exceptionally well.
