I am afraid you have been given the wrong information. The salvage operations are on their final stage the vessel is being emptied of the remainder of her cargo from the decks and subseqently will be righted and taken to a dry-dock yard to be repaired.

There have been no official statements made by Grimaldi stating their intention to section the ship for scrapping purpose and it is ridicolous to believe that if there was such a statement that Grimaldi would have told AET who are only their contracted stevedores.

It's all rumours my friend, just malicious "small talk" from people who have nothing better to do.

over and out.

Finally something that is taking off the pressure from whole fleet of this sector. Hopefully we can read the report of final investigation of R.d.Genova's capsize soon.

-                      vessel off the bottom and free floating;click click

-                      in total well over 55,000 tons of water had to be removed in a special developed sequence in order to maintain the maximum stability possible throughout;

-                      the list now is 5.5 to 6 degrees.click-click


The plan now is to continue the pumping operations step by step in order to get the vessel in a condition that the rest of the cargo can be discharged. One of the compartments that still needs to be dewatered is the engineroom, which purposely has been kept underwater in order to not allow oxygen to reach engine parts now underwater and thus to prevent corrosion. Pumping of this compartment will be started only when crews can immediately start with engineroom preservation to prevent corrosion.
