Against the Forced Sinking of the Ship

1) A large amount of material that can pollute the sea has been incorporated into the environment, including electronic components, cargo residues, oil residues, etc.;
2) The materials cannot be recycled, including the thousands of tons of steel from the hull and superstructure;
3) There will be expenses from the insurer in addition to the costs of the salvage operations already executed.

In Favor of the Forced Sinking of the Ship

1) Mitigates the risk to navigation in the area;
2) Mitigates the risk to the environment, given the proximity of the grounding to the Manuel Luís Marine State Park.
3) Avoids the work of dismantling the ship.

What other pro or con factors regarding the sinking can be mentioned?

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.
