    A heavily rusted and grounded cargo ship named 'JIREM' is beached on rocky shoreline, with a large crane barge positioned alongside conducting salvage or demolition operations. The orange crane barge, bearing a phone number '954-764-8100' and the text 'MAXMARINE' or similar, is actively working to dismantle or refloat the wreck. The scene depicts a marine salvage operation in what appears to be a coastal or island location under overcast skies.

    This infographic details the Freighter Jireh Removal and Disposal Process, outlining four sequential steps for removing a grounded freighter near Mona Island. The process involves cutting sections for recycling, refloating with flotation bags, towing and sinking in deep water, or alternatively cutting the entire ship for transport to Puerto Rico. Five agency logos are displayed at the top, indicating a multi-agency operation.
