Getting her on the beach of Alang or Gadani would be a difficult job, getting her off the Dockwise Vanguard for one. Too far away from the beach and would remain submerged again. Anywhere where there is a dock facility would be ideal, not many choices.
Err?? is it me or am I missing something!
Costa Concordia has to be 'refloated' to get her onto the Semi Submercible, then wherever she goes she then has to be re-floated off again, so it makes no difference if she is dry docked or beached after.
Semi Submercibles cost a fortune to hire daily, My best guess is they will take no chances once she is afloat and will pick the shortest distance and safest place possible.

'if' the
Dockwise Vanguard can lift the
Costa Concordia, her lifting capacity I see is 117,000 tons and Costa Concordia was/is 114,000 GT.
I guess it's going to be 'watch this space'.
