Wreck removal personnel continue to remove the final section of the Golden Ray wreck. A weight-shedding team removed 180 vehicles which will be transloaded onto containment trucks and processed at a local auto recycling facility. The salvage master and the response engineering team assessed the condition of the bottom of the section using hydrographic surveys and visual inspections on Wednesday. The condition of the section requires additional supports added to the cradle system. The section will be stowed and towed to a local response facility for partial dismantling once the construction of the additional supports is complete.
