Costa Concordia Unrecoverable

[ducklite]

Well - I ask myself when they will start to pump it out!! (???)

Can't they pump out the oil and look for persons at the same time???

 

Waiting too long is not good.

 

Once they start the pumping process, there's a pretty good chance the ship could shift. That's the last thing they want to have happen with searchers aboard.

If you want to see what Titan is capable of, watch a couple episodes of "Salvage Code Red". Amazing stuff.

Today at 3 pm the decision came that the pumping out progress could start - and they have said it on the news today (5 pm) - the pumping out process has begun! :)

It makes no sense to speculate, we have to wait... but I ask myself when they will start to pump it out!! (???)

The oil will probably be removed by cutting in from the outside. Easier and safer.

Today at 3 pm there was the decision to pump out the fuel - they are allowed to do it now! I watched the news today! ;)

And let's hope that the ship will be recovered after the long process of pumping out the fuel... :eek:

You mean after her recovery?

At first we have to wait what happens next - at least today the preperation of the pumping out process are in progress so the pumping out starts this week...

Than we will see and hope that the ship will be recovered.

Latest news I heard today was that it would take 10 months to recover it. Sounds like it will definitely be scrapped. Time to build a new ship (or is that time to make the donuts?).

Although there has been no final offical word yet, in the Maritime world, it is pretty well a *given* that she will never sail again.

 

The big thing now is if she will be refloated off or cut up where she lays.
