The ships can only come and go at the whim of the tides. We watched the RoRo ships loading and unloading there when we spent the better part of the winter in Brunswick GA, where this ship capsized. Lots of Benz product waiting to be loaded.

Yea this has happened many times before, one doco I watched was about the salvage of a car carrier with 2,800 believed to be Volvos that collided in the English Channel with another ship and sank and had to be removed as it was a hazard to navigation. Think it was back in 2004 and took a year and a half to complete.
They had to get every scrap of metal off the ocean floor which took way longer that cutting and raising the ship parts.

I've watched the video of the car carrier salvage operation. That stuff is always interesting. The installation of the sarcophagus at
Chernobyl is another good one. It was done by other European entities, not Russia.
