Press release by Italian Civil Protection
According to the press release (6 Sep 2013), "The operation to right the ship Costa Concordia (known as “parbuckling”)
has been given the go-ahead for this month: this was the outcome of a
meeting convened in Rome today at the headquarters of the Civil
Protection Department, by the Emergency Commissioner Franco Gabrielli,
and attended by representatives from the Advisory Committee, the
Observatory, the Micoperi-Titan Consortium and the cruise line Costa
Crociere."
Before the actual work takes place, authorities will need to review test certificates, inspect the structures, and complete preliminary activities. No date for the actual parbuckling was given in the press release.
The overall project is 77% completed and is being carried out by a crew of 474 workers and 28 vessels and crafts on site. For a video and additional details of the salvage operation, see Costa Concordia Salvage Begins.
