A fine of about $3 million is expected to be levied by Georgia’s state environmental regulators for the Hyundai Glovis Co. logistics and shipping enterprise after a container ship that was carrying vehicles unexpectedly capsized.

An official shared the latest update on the Golden Ray wreck removal that was ongoing off the Georgia coast. He said that it is, so far, the largest in the history of the US. The task took up over three million man-hours.

Wreck removal personnel separated the remainder of the Golden Ray wreck into two sections on Saturday and they are preparing to lift and stow Section Five onto a dry-dock barge.

Responders contained the source of oil discharges from Section Six of the Golden Ray wreck on Friday. Wreck removal personnel began preparing the section on Sunday for weight-shedding operations this week.

A significant amount of oil had escaped a barrier while crews had been busy dismantling an overturned cargo ship along the Georgia coast.

Response engineers began post-fire assessments of the wreck and wreck removal equipment on Saturday. The assessment is likely to take several days.

The salvage plan of the capsized ship Golden Ray is taking more time than usual. The huge car carrier sank with 4200 cars on its deck 2 years ago and the crew started the salvage operation in November.
