Costa Concordia to be salvaged in 1 piece

Salvage work to remove the capsized Costa Concordia cruise ship from its rocky perch off Tuscany, where 32 people died, will begin early next month and is expected to take a year, the Italian owner announced Saturday. The U.S.-owned company Titan Salvage won the bid to remove the ship, which struck a reef off the tourist-dependent island of Giglio on Jan. 13, after the captain veered off course and steered the liner carrying 4,200 people close to shore in an apparent stunt. Thirty-two passengers and crew members died in the frantic and delayed evacuation. Two of those remain missing. The salvage plan, which still needs approval by Italian authorities, foresees removing the ship in one piece and towing it to an Italian port, Costa said. Workers completed the removal of fuel from the Concordia on March 24, and Costa said environmental protection will be a “top priority” during the ship’s removal.

Concordia final decision: ship to be righted and towed away in one piece


After two months of speculation about what will be done with the wreck of the Costa Concordia, and with negotations still going on with salvage experts, it is now known that whoever gets the job will have to refloat the ship and tow it to its home port of Genoa in one piece. Salvage teams and engineers are expected to begin work in May, and the entire process is expected to take a year. The cost of the salvage operation is expected to approach £180 million ($288 million US).
