Authorities handling the salvage of a car carrier that capsized off the coast of Georgia a month ago have determined that the vessel must be removed piece by piece.

The 7,700-ceu Golden Ray (built 2017) turned on its side in St Simon Sound on 9 September after a fire erupted near its cargo of about 4,000 cars. All 24 crew members were rescued from the ship, which is owned by South Korea''s Hyundai Glovis, the day after the incident.
