I know we had an old thread on this but didn't seen anything current. The bow was removed yesterday, all 6,000 tons rough estimate. Now just 7 more pieces to go.
That crane is impressive. Edit: This is the car carrier in Georgia.

I'm almost sure I see a Dodge pickup truck. I thought these things were full of Korean cars.

Was expecting to see a vessel ran aground at max speed and dismantled piecemeal by hundreds of loincloth clad workers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I can wear one while I operate the cutting chain if you like, but might raise some eyebrows in the control room. Is there any ARFCOM Close video of this, 'bash it into submission' cutting technique? Choice of workwear totally up to you. |

Does kinda look like a whole row of pickemups on the lower level.
Wouldn't mind seeing video of the chain cutting. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: scrapping a ship = normal scrapping a ship full of cargo = not normal what happened here?? Scrapping cargo is normal when half of the cars have been underwater for months and there was no safe way to unload the rest. Check out the Cougar Ace accident from 2006. Cougar Ace and 4000 Mazdas go to the junk yard In that accident, none of the cars were damaged but the insurance company was afraid of selling them, so 4700 brand new cars went to the scrap yard. |
