Costa Concordia: Project Progress


On June 22, Titan-Micoperi reported that all the starboard sponsons for the wreck of Costa Concordia had been attached, including the troublesome S13 flotation tank featured in my previous post. That one needed a do-over. 

That leaves four sponsons to go, all on the port side, which is less damaged than the starboard side. So that's good news for the wreck-refloating and removal later this summer. (Photo, Parbuckling Project)


The next step is an evaluation by the government on Thursday, June 26, about the project's readiness to cope with what is now a very fragile hulk.
