Marine Accident Report - Capsizing of Roll-on/Roll-off Vehicle Carrier Golden Ray
This report discusses the September 8, 2019, accident involving the roll-on/roll-off vehicle carrier Golden Ray, which capsized while transiting outbound through St. Simons Sound near Brunswick, Georgia. At the time of the accident, the vessel had 23 crew and 1 pilot on board; 2 crewmembers sustained serious injuries, and 4 engineering crew remained trapped in the engine room and engine control room for nearly 40 hours before being rescued. The vessel was declared a total loss. Total costs for the loss of the vessel were estimated at $62.5 million, and total costs for the loss of the cargo were estimated at $142 million. Safety issues identified in this report include improperly calculating vessel stability and lack of company oversight for calculating vessel stability.
