Question: Will there be pieces of metal and dangerous debris on the beach along the North Spit due to the removal of the New Carissa?
Answer: There shouldn’t be. Metal from the New Carissa will not be taken to the beach. The steel Titan Salvage crewmen cut from the New Carissa is lifted from the wreck with a crane and placed on the deck of either of Titan’s Karlissa A and Karlissa B jack-up barges on the north and west sides of the Carissa. The steel slabs are stored on the decks until they workers can transfer them from the barges onto a floating barge. Then, they take the scrap to Empire, where it is stored on the barge at the dock. Eventually, the scrap will be taken to a recycling facility.
