The risk of oil discharge is less for the remaining cuts in the wreck removal process. Crews continue to clean up very light oil slicks and debris, and there are also survey crews patrolling to find and remove any debris or fuel residue from the overturned Hyundai ship.

South Korean Hyundai's Golden Ray ran aground and partially overturned with 4200 zero km cars

The Golden Ray of the multinational Hyundai, ran aground and partially overturned in St. Georgia's Simons Sound on September 7, 2019. During an outbound transit in calm conditions, a routine turn to starboard turned into an escape maneuver, ending with the ship aground and resting on its side.

Lieutenant Ian Oviatt, an engineer at the Marine Safety Center of the Coast Guard, said the Hyundai car carrier had taken too little ballast for its cargo. "The cause of the vessel overturning was the lack of right-hand power due to the way the vessel was loaded," Oviatt told an investigative panel last September. “The vessel could have taken additional ballast to comply.”
