Why would you say it is likely to be cut up on the beaching area??
I'm not sure that she will be cut up where she lays but it is a very distinct possiblity.
Her back is not broken yet
I think you will find that her back is broken. The images from 18 January showed longitudinal cracks rising up the hull at the same points port and starboard. The steel at the head of the cracks was clearly in compression and the hull was visibly sagging over the damaged area (you can see the sagging on the gunwales). All clear indications of there being nothing holding the ship together at that point on the keel. As I said before, I think there was a valiant effort to drag her to a port with following seas and weather (the most stable condition for a hull in that state) but it proved ultimately impossible.
Vessels in far worse shape than this one have been taken into port in one piece... many hundreds of times
Errm, I don't believe that's correct.
The Hyundai Fortune comes to mind.Quite a few posts here had her sunk, blown to bits, hopeless etc. Well the vessel is saved and in port for sale thanks to Wijsmullers experts
I worked on Hyundai Fortune in Salalah, Oman last March/April. Wijsmuller did an amazing job on the fire-fighting and salvage operation. But the ship suffered fires and explosions that damaged the hull but not the keel, there is a very important distinction. The structures that give the ship its strength were not damaged (although possibly weakened by heat) on "HF" so the ship remained of value to anyone prepared to spend the money necessary to repair the hull and replace the power and drive train.
If it were possible to refloat the vessel (or the sections of it) then the consideration has to be how much would that cost and would you be able to tow it/them to a place where they could be scrapped safely and economically. Trust me, this vessel will not be repaired - if it were technically possible, which I doubt, no insurer on earth would touch it with a bargepole.
There is nowhere in the vicinity that could handle the scrapping process so all in all it may well be cheaper to cut her in situ and take her away section by section on barges.
