The salvage team for a car carrier capsized off Georgia is working on a strategy to remove all of the ship's fuel and oil as the first step to a complex, possibly months-long operation.

The Hyundai Glovis-owned 7,700-ceu Golden Ray (built 2017) turned on its side on 8 September while carrying about 4,000 cars in St. Simons Sound.

A "Unified Command" group of local, state and federal authorities began salvage operations for the disabled ship Tuesday after the US Coast Guard (USCG) rescued its 24 crewmembers.
