The final section of the 7,700-ceu Golden Ray (built 2017) is being hoisted ashore two years after it catastrophically grounded at the US Port of Brunswick in Georgia, and 12 months after the first cut was made to dismantle the wreck.

Over the two years, salvage, environmental protection and wreck-removal operations have run up an eye-watering $840m bill.

The final tally will be handled through the International Group of P&I Clubs, and will be met mostly from its reinsurance programme.
