Why not to just scrap her by pieces at the place & lift the remains out of the water?

That's just not possible Denis due to the nature of the angle of rock that she is resting on, I would say more but please respect that I work at the salvage area and have signed a confidentiality agreement.

Cheers, Dan.

Good question, Denis, but following a competitive tender, in May 2012 it was announced that Titan Salvage and Italian firm Micoperi had won the salvage contracts. They where the cheapest... ;D

There might also be some environmental regulations. Scrapping is dirty business and the whole world is watching, so the Italian Government doesn't want any bad publicity. And after all, isn't it Costa who pays everything?

Regarding the costs, keep in mind that this kind of operation has never been done in this scale. Sometimes things have to be thought of as the process goes on, and that tends to be expensive. Of course, doubling to 500 million euro is pretty steep, but then again, Costa pays...

Everything that Titan / Micoperi place on the seabed, including all subsea platforms, cement, anchor blocks etc etc all have to be removed on completion so even if and when she is raised, re floated and removed, then there will still be a massive clean up operation that will involve even more specialist vessels and workers.

I believe it also includes all wreckage that has naturally fallen off and items that have since been cut off.

Basically the seabed will be left as it was before the incident.

Cheers, Dan.

Does anyone know if they are going to patch that big gash in her port side before trying to right and re-float her? Or are they just going to depend on the flotation of the attached caissons? ???

Just saw a report on the evening news here in the Toronto Canada area that says the salvage company is hurrying up the salvage operation of the Costa Concordia. Apparently she is being crushed on the reef by her own weight!? ???

That big gash was covered up quite a while back along with all the windows on her port side in readiness for the caisions to be attached to her hull which is what is happening at this time in preparation for her lift.

From the views on the webcam, it seems that all the white painted flotation caissons are now in place. But does anyone know the purpose of the two grey pyramid shaped boxes currently being handled by LOME's cranes. Could they be to fix to the underwater structure to 'catch' CONCORDIA as she comes upright.
What is the current date for the rolling manoeuvre?
