At approx 20 degrees the sponsors will start to fill with water and the 6000 tonne pull will be gradually relaxed.

Watching this on the Reuters live feed, very interesting!

Here is a video animation showing the first three phases, watch on HD...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qPf6bGarcK0

They say that in another 3-4 hours the ship should be upright if all goes smoothly.

The ship is now upright (low in the water to rest on the purpose made bed). This was completed 4am Giglio time. The Parbuckling Project officials held a press conferrence to say that the operation was a success and had gone to plan. There has been no pollution from the ship and they will monitor and stabilize the ship's position. Preparation for the next stage will then occur.

I think her hull is pretty knackered. Magnificent work to parbuckle her without breaking her but I think they may need to cut the upper decks off in situ before attempting to re-float. You can easily see the damage above the water line but this will continue below to a lesser extent. The rear also appears a bit droopy - maybe hog backed although some of this is distortion.

Either way superb work by the salvers so far.

Lets hope they can find the missing people soon and return them to the families.
