Clearing the capsized Golden Ray from St. Simon’s channel
- Thread starter lostchild

I believe three proposed sections left, so two more cuts.Living down here and being a frequent visitor to Jekyll and St Simons I have been watching the process. The longer it sits there the more likely there would be a fire or oil release. Now we've had both. One more cut and it can't come soon enough.
INVESTIGATION: How an expected billion-dollar, trouble-plagued ship salvage may have also undermined federal disaster response laws
Saturday's oil spill is just the latest in a string of setbacks for the snakebit Golden Ray, now on track to be the most expensive ship salvage operation in history.www.firstcoastnews.com
But after this long, who’s counting?
.
That would be true of most administrations, but one call from the asterick in chief may wind up ordering pizza or ice cream
I believe first estimate was like three months from incident In September 2019. So….
Nope. 2 more sections left so that's one more cut. With any luck they'll do it in 8 days like this last cut. All that being said they still have to move the sections to the port and after that clean up everything. Removal of the environmental barricade, all of the debris that escaped it, and then the tons and tons of aggregate they used to stabilize the ship. They'll be out there until the end of the year.
I’d say he’s not a hero.
He’s the one that capsized it by driving it when it was incorrectly loaded and ballasted .
At least he wasn’t drunk like the guy driving the Exxon Valdez
About three years past whatever date they claim it will be done.
Seems like they have state Highway department crews working on this thing?
I see what you did there
How would he know how the gd thing was loaded/ballasted?
He’s just a bar pilot, tasked with getting the vessel through the channel from port to open water, or vice versa.
And, when he realized that turd was going over, he took it out of the channel so when it turned turtle it didn’t blockade the whole port. That would have been a real disaster for Brunswick.
