The Golden Ray cargo ship is one step closer to being removed from the middle of the St. Simons Sound.
As WABE’s Maria White Tillman reports, contractors are working to prepare the overturned vessel for removal from the waterway, near Brunswick Georgia.
The plan is to cut the barge into large sections and remove it piece by piece.
Most recently crews removed the side ramp of the Golden Ray and have been working on the stern ramp.
Removing these ramps will improve safety conditions and expedite operations to cut the vessel into sections for removal from St. Simon Sound.
