Golden Ray Salvage: Responders Continue Cutting Operations on Section Seven

St. Simons Sound Incident Response reports that resonders continue cutting operations to separate Section Seven from the Golden Ray wreck.

Divers continue to lengthen pre-cut notches along cutlines for Section Two and Section Three to increase cutting efficiency during subsequent cutting operations. Responders continue to remove vehicles from Section Two onto a containment barge during Weight-Shedding operations. Once offloaded from the barge, the vehicles will be taken to a nearby certified auto recycler for final disposal.
