- A South Korean cargo vessel carrying about 4,000 cars bound for the Middle East was listing heavily on Sept. 8 off the coast of the southern U.S. state of Georgia, an official of operator Hyundai Glovis said.
The U.S. Coast Guard said a pilot and 23 crew were aboard the Golden Ray when it overturned in St. Simons Sound and 20 people had been rescued.
Rescue teams were searching for four crew members believed to be inside the engine room of the vessel, the company and South Korea's foreign ministry said.
The rescued included six South Koreans, 13 Philippines nationals and the American pilot, the foreign ministry said.
The cars on the ship represented marques such as Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors, the company official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter, said on Sept. 9.
The Vessel Finder website said the ship had recently called at the Port of Brunswick and was headed to Baltimore. The carrier was built in 2017 and was sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands, according to the website.
The Golden Ray has a capacity to carry 6,933 vehicles according to the Glovis website.

Who else was hoping to see the cars?
Me
A.R.S TECH Thank you!
🤣
me!
Dorkchop well I was but certainly not going to buy one of these now!
That’s one way to get rid of surplus stock - insurance claim
It happens more than you'd imagine
Facts!!
@@sir1junior wow, I suspected such.
Could you please elaborate?
Thinking the same the things, people haven’t been buying cars.
O I thought they just took out the trash
Bikini Bottom’s Order of 4000 Hyundai cars has finally arrived. xD
Underrated comment!!
meanwhile under water: bikini bottoms news report that Hyundai cars ordered by bikini bottom mayor to improve the city has arrived
I am a South Korean. Thank you to the United States for saving our people. I also respect the USCG.
Indeed U.S is poor our Doesn't work on Trade Tariff!
SAD TRUMP!
USA and South Korea. Allies forever. 🇺🇸🇰🇷🇰🇷🇺🇸
The coast guard is amazing!! So proud!
Sewon B. Thanks for keeping the K dramas coming out.
@Yourtube Captain is responsible for loading and unloading and all operations on the ship.
Don’t buy a Hyundai for a while. Bet there will be some “good deals”😳
Truth seeker Hill They will probably scrape off the barnacles on any of the hyundais that were submerged underwater and be like it’s still good it’s still good to take five dollars off the sticker price
Buy the ones made in America.
Marcus P buying a brand new car makes no sense.’
@@marcusp9288 no way, I'm looking forward to seeing the car in person.
Marcus P that sounds very good.
Damages in the cars alone were estimated in the hundreds of dollars
Good one 🤣🤣
Exactly.
No big loss 🤣
No its millions 😂
You do know that was a joke, right?
@@fbi_2rex489 r/swoosh
Next week Hyndai will be running sale: New cars, all models, with cupholders - slight water damage.
Probably Kia's, they're made in Georgia.
Check all “new” car super sale deals for soggy seats and fishy odor.
“fish included”
So glad these people got out, if this ship had rolled all the way over it may have been very bad, my hat is off to all the rescue workers, thank you
They are designed to not invert unless they fill with water...
Ships are designed to be "keel" heavy, so they remain stable and upright. This ship could carry 6,500 cars, but only had 4,000 in the hold. If those removed in Brunswick were in the lower compartments, the ship may have been top heavy. Turning the ship or a brush with the bottom at 2:00 AM could have caused the ship to start listing. The remaining load would have been top heavy enough to capsize the vessel, if my suspicions are correct.
Exactly what I was thinking... it was moving in water that is too shallow
No. They forgot to put the cars in P. They slid all over to one side in N when the ship turned . LOL
Nobody likes a know it all Larry.... lol Just kidding.... you sound smart so I'm agreeing with you....
Karen, I just took my boat from Hilton Head to Brunswick before Dorian hit. If they can't move this thing out of the way, I might be stuck there for a while. The outbound channel has shoals on both sides, so you have to stay in the middle.
The best post I hv seen so far.. seems experience .. my stand up paddle board capsized in the edge of a pond .. 10 days ago.. either ship was not anchored properly or some one was drunk .. why bring this big ship to shallow waters..
Texting and driving will get you every time
I am a former seaman and am hoping the missing crew are found safe and sound.The sea is very calm and my idea is that the cargo lashing might have gave way causing the ship to tilt ,the ballasting is not balance or the ship might have suffer a leak in its keel.Good it happened along the coast on shallow water.
Im a former seman too... we all are... lol
Hyundai cars on sale everywhere 50% off blowout sale, Christmas in October bring yer shopvac........!

Get one now for only $19,999.99 .
LoL
Not a problem they said *Hyundai Tiburon* was the cargo.
LOL!
Palasade too
Drove by this the other day and saw it from the Sidney Lanier bridge. Crazy to see in person. Huge ship!
Praying for the safety of all
3500 on one side 500 on other side, then you have to turn. Uh oh!!!!!
New2day User you are correct
I wonder if there is a Suzuki sidekick car.
I am a seaman from EUCOR Hyundai our chief Mate always checked our ballast either loading and/or unloading, so I would probably say the ship forget to have a ballasting to balance the ship.
so the cause of this accidents is the ballasting?
I know very little about boats but thats actually the first thing i thought of. i know ships have ballast tanks they can fill n empty at will.
Wow, someone is taking these trade tariffs pretty seriously...
Hahahaha!!! Dammit.... That's funny.
U.S IS POOR DOESN'T WORK ON TRADE TARIFFS!
SAD TRUMP!
@@steve-usmcvet8934 Semper Fi brother!
Lmfao lol
The ship's captain was too drunk ?
First offcer : How much heading you want me to turn, Capt?
Captain : Yes!!!!
well here comes a new order for a boat load of cars
Why ships carrying Mercedes never flip over?
I love family guy too.
Jaketheaxman Billy Finn.
Thanks for the video.
They need to learn how to balance their shipment loads before and after partial deliveries. This accident happened after unloading some cars.
I hope the crew members got out safe!!!
someone will be fired for not loading the ship properly
Always the captain's responsibility no matter who loaded it
TV Bot they do this kinda 💩 with fueling planes too. Took a flight to the Bahamas in June with my husband and friends and they put way too much gas in the plane and we had to ride around in the airplane at the airport to burn off gas because the plane was too heavy. Idiots!
Lydia M Wow
no this is the ships fault. Such cargo ships have sophisticated balance and weight computerized controls to keep the ships balance, especially big cargo ships that have tall container or load structures. Their center of gravity, buoyancy are kept in constant check to make sure they can roll with the waves and movement without weight shifting or capsizing problems. No matter who loads the ship, the ships captain and crew double check their cargo and safety features, not the dock loading crew. No captain of such a vessel would ever leave such things to outsiders, especially basic dock workers.
@@TheLydiaM Aeroplanes don't use "gas" smh . . .
I seen this in person and I was like how in the hell did they capsized right there. I was on that Pier.
saw not seen
@@Lauren-vd4qe yes they will be sawing on it alright, with the still cutting cable to make ship slices to put on barge. I seen that coming. I guess you not from round here. wanna date?
@@snoolee7950 sure i will bring my walker and the grandkids
I'll take an i30 if one washes up on the beach. Cheers.
My sincere sympathy to Hyundai company...this is very sad. Thank God it's not out in deep seas...hopefully the authorities will be able to savage of the cargo on board.
I live in the area and I have seen many of the vehicles that have been extracted from the Golden Ray as they have made the hull cuts. A vast majority of the vehicles removed have been GMC and Chevrolet full size SUVs and Pick Up trucks. I have seen very few Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
I was at St Simon Island in July 4th 2019 weekend and i saw this monster on its side. Right from that pier.
Those cars will end up in a dodgy sale yard near you....
There goes my new car.
When it happened to MAZDA in the Pacific the lawyers, insurance people and company shredded a billion dollars in cars -or maybe it was 100 million (4700 cars anyway) -not a single part resold.
My new Mazda3 was delayed because of that sinking about 7 years ago. I heard they were sold in south america after refurbishing them :) Only the body gets damaged. Rest of the internals are as good as new unless submerged in water
Scrapped and bulldozed
SoccerPro101 no all were rolled down in canada.
I hv sailed on that vessel
Retail/:value - 55/70 million dollars!
Hope their insurance policy was paid up.
Not including the ship.
Just Hyundai's
Actual cash value 39¢
Large corporations are generally self insured and 70 million to any big player in automotive manufacturing is a drop in the ocean.
@@bryballer2147 Amphibious models..
I thought my Hyundai was a little wet around the ears.
Ship said mission failed
Hyundai: I'd like to make multiple insurance claims 🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Well, I guess someone can forget about getting that new job promotion.
The water is very shallow. Ship propeller hit the rocks, or sand. That's why it is not sinking.
no not that, hatches closed- and stable on it's side as well as its bottom. -check out the MAZDA ship from a few years ago- same problem -knocked onto side / or maybe this one was badly loaded (unbalanced) might come out later for why
No. Its not sinking because it has lots of trapped air.
SoccerPro101 this water way is only like 30 50 feet deep the ship is sitting on its side most likely
Yes. Im surprised too why the angle of the ship still above water. I dont get it. Need more explanation. Quiet wierd to me.
Ship is listing. It's called unstable equilibrium. Google unstable equilibrium ship stability. You'll get the answer.
These car carriers seem to love capsizing. it's like a regular thing these days there have been quite a few since 2000 that have done that
In 88 we had same problem with a japanese vessel full of new cars 5400 cars lost and ship too. Ballast problem , human error sentenced ship,cars a 1 crew dead that in panic jumped to the water dying imediatelly. This kind of ships never forgive an error. Very big especially very very tall.
Being from the Detroit area where we depend on domestic vehicles, I'm elated.
Wow!
But this will not matter--not when Detroit unions INSIST on a wage/package for each worker, so high, that no one can afford one of the cars. You can sink ten tankers, and they will build ten more, to bring more cars. Forget it, those cars don't begin to explain the problem
American car manufacturing is a scam. It's not a free market in the US.
@@freddyfox5002 Proof that production costs are damn high in the US (wages and so on), all american manufacturers tend to partner with european and asian ones with lower labor costs and also lower engineering costs with bigger efficiency.
I wouldn't buy a Hyundai for the next 10 years if I were you
Korean cars quality control is top notch without the least doubt
@@ahmedefakhroo5910 have you ever seen a kia?
@@kodykongsdorf Have you ever been outside 2003?
@@kodykongsdorf Kia's have improved incredibly since Hyundai took over production.
@@YragTrebor I can agree with that but overall they are nowhere near the top in terms of reliability
Rule one of boating.
Put in the drain plug. 👌🏽
Why is it in shallow waters? Are we sure that cars are the only things it was carrying? Trafficking is real folks!
People who are carrying Meth, thank you President Trump for scuttling the enemy.
@@calvinabbott6920 lol, I think it capsized because of how shallow it is.
@@murrayflewelling1258 These have a flat bottom and would just wait for high tide.
It's a big conspiracy
The captain misread the chart and ended up in shallow water when he thought he was in the shipping lanes
The good news is Abu Dhabi Kia is having a sale on all their 2020 Kia's!!!
It doesn't look like the captain will be getting his complementary sedan from Hyundai this Christmas.
@Hello John how are you doing?
That's another good way to reduce traffic on the road👍
Praying for the Survivers..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
They all survived
I'm surprised by how shallow that is
That boat is in great shape.

Wreck-tangle-ulnar. Ar-ar!😆
Thanks for the info, sometime heavy doesn’t help .
This has happened in UK waters twice. Once in the English Channel in 2002 carrying 3000 BMW Volvo and SAAB cars and once in Southampton in 2015 carrying 1400 assorted vehicles including a £250'000 Rolls Royce. The vehicles usually break free and get all smashed up. Nothing worth salvaging except scrap metal.
E
Real heroes in this, USCG. All crew came out alive.
Wow, that ship looks brand new too. Look at the bottom paint, completely clean and shiny.
The cost to lift that vessel up, will outweigh the cost of those vehicles.
It’s not getting lifted.
I always knew they were badly balanced
here is the proof
vehicle carriers capsize more than any ship the keel is too slim for keeping the ship in equilibrium
@@TheAbderaman c of g is too high
@@paulmanners1364 also this can cause capsizing container ships never capsize because they hold conainers even at the lowest part and heavier cargo is stacked below the empty conainers ; for the car carriers it is really sensitice especially for wheeled truhs and heavy equipment
hoegk osaka capsized in 2018 grande america had a small fire and capsized in 2019 modern express capsized i 2018 just sad for seeing such terrible loss million of dollars , container ships can break in half like MOL comfort that get lost with 4500 containers it was overcharged
The actually number is 2000, but they claimed 4000 for insurance
"Blow a kiss, fire a gun. All we need is somebody to leeaan oonnn...."
Somebody is in a WHOLE lot of trouble over this major SNAFU!!!!
Somebody's going to get fired. How does this even happened?
What if the dude organizing it put all the cars on the east wall 😂😂😂
I hope everyone survived.
This type of ship has always been an issue on stability.
With such a shallow draft and wide rounded bottom it would be a bit unstable ... the deeper and narrower the keel the more leverage that balast has to keep the ship upright.
So what is the news on this accident???? Are they cutting up the ship?
HEY, YOU CAN’T LEAVE THAT SHIP THERE. “IT’S OK....HE’S GOT SMAHT PAHK”.
@Hello Gerald how are you doing?
The ship (Golden Ray) was cut into pieces and is still being removed (Feb. 2021).
That’s not a cargo ship. It’s Ireland’s latest stealth submarine.
Too bad for the pollution.
Dont lean on the hand rail.
My 220-pound ex-wife was working on the ship.
Listing is an understatement.
I was in the area as well it's really big
some of my best friends are Hyundai, my heart goes out to all the family who of Hyundai who were killed in this tragedy, my regards to the Dali Lama and the nation of Tibet.
I seem to recall a similar incident like this off the coast of southern UK.
In the Solent
Hyundais are great cars
I would say that the bottom of the ocean is a good place for all those crappy foreign car's but if that were the case they wouldn't have found the 4 missing crewmembers alive
Let's better hope Hyundai has insurance for all those 4,000 cars lost on the coast of Georgia... Who knows how much oil and gas those things are in those vehicles...
I wondered why mine was rusting a little.
To Mr.John Burns: Stands to reason! Unload it evenly! Similar to a railroad's "center beams," a special lumber transporting railcar. All "center beams lumber cars" are clearly stenciled on the inside ends of these types of railcars, than it must be unloaded evenly. (Best if there is a team of two forklift operators performing this function.)
At least they were all Hyundais so they were probably all destined to break down anyways lol.
cracking me up
It was carrying weapons bound for the middle east.
Great shot Space Force!
Ashley Adams lol stop the hyundais!!!
Tom Clancy says it had a load of nuclear missiles bound for Iran
@@TheGecko213 I think it may have been sabotage so that the entire crew can genuinely apply for asylum.
Great design of ship!
Good Thats exactly where Hyundai's need to be..at the bottom of the ocean.
The water was too shallow for the ship! How did the ship get there?
best place possible for those card
I would have liked a narrative explaining the reason for this ship listing and then fully turning on it's side. I also am curious if all the cars are carried internally or if they were loaded onto the deck. Status update please.
Boat load of Craigslist Hyundai's.coming to the internet near you.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why you don't let a floating box carry your cars to another port
Somebody is gonna be in trouble
Hopefully no one died.
Starboard thrust bearing failed when propeller made ground contact. Bearing seal ruptured causing 400,000 gallons of ocean water to enter hull.
Make the most of this opportunity to create the Hyundai Reef. Line em up. 4,000 cars... could be seen from space. I can see it all ready.
@Hello Richard how are you doing?
Had a heart attack when I read the title until I realized they were just Hyundais
WAIT GUYS IS NOT BALANCED!! DONT WORRY it’s gonna float anyway!! That’s 4,000 CARS ITS HARD TO RE ARRANGED AGAIN...
The captain's wife was told to stay on the starboard side. But no she had to go looking for a snack.
"I want egg roll"
Oh my Gosh
...... within minutes after water intrusion, keel makes ground contact..... ship has no place to go in shallow water..... insurance company will enjoy writing that check.
These ships love a good capsize.
Bless the shrimp fleet.
One thing they don't say is that ship was supposed to have BMWs in it if it didn't capsize.
Watch it some Florida used car dealers will take all cars give them a new title and sell them to unexpected buyers
Hey... Shhhhhhhhh....
What was in the rest of the cargo space.
I am neither Korean nor American, but Green Bay Packers rock.
I'm guessing Gilligan forgot to Transfer Ballast to keep the Ship upright.
@Hello Curt how are you doing?
The ship is huge but i dont think it could carry 4000 cars
