The Golden Ray Ship Sank Last Year With Approximately 4 Thousand Cars Onboard, A Tragedy And Without A Doubt A Huge Loss.

It all happened in 2019 on the coast of Georgia, in the United States, when the Golden Ray ship carrying 4 thousand cars capsized. In order to remove the ship, the engineers in charge will have to cut it into 8 pieces and then remove it.

About 50 crew members are needed to rescue the Golden Ray and its cars to operate the VB 10,000, which was built in 2010 and is the largest lifting ship operating under the flag of the United States. Its crew has worked together since the ship’s baptism. Many of them worked together on the smaller VB 4,000 of the company Versabar, built in 2007.

“I would say that about 70 percent of us have worked together, between our predecessor ship (VB 4,000) and the VB 10,000, for the last 13 years,” Fish said. “And we are still doing this together today.”

“We will be cutting with our four auxiliary blocks, two at a time, with each capable of 500 tons,” Fish said. “I must note that each of our winches – we have many winches aboard the ship – the main lifting winches and the cutting winches are all powered by dual motors, yet it is still difficult because of the cars that capsized together.”

The motor overlap is necessary to avoid damage. Each cut may take up to 24 hours; the process must continue continuously until completion once it starts.

The suspended lifting force of the VB 10,000 is reinforced by two cranes, each with two lifting blocks. This arrangement helps ensure stability when lifting extremely heavy and potentially difficult-to-handle objects, Fish said.
