Crew members have described the final moments onboard a Hyundai Glovis car carrier before it dramatically capsized at the US port of Brunswick in September last year.

At a US Coast Guard public hearing, the 7,700-ceu Golden Ray (built 2017) master Jonathan Tennant described the moments leading up to the vessel's capsize.

"Everything was just as normal as it could be, until it capsized," he told the hearing, according to CNN.
