Titan-Micoperi: Costa Concordia Will Be Upright By Summer’s End
.

Assuming everything goes as planned, the Costa Concordia shipwreck should be upright by the end of summer.

Engineers of the Titan-Micoperi consortium hired to salvage the ship confirmed the news Tuesday that the “parbuckling,” or the process of rotating the ship upright, will be completed in early September.

The parbuckling will allow salvors to check the currently submerged (starboard) side of the wreck, which has been inaccessible since the ship struck rocks and partially sank on the island of Giglio on January 13, 2012. Once upright, crews will be able to more easily assess the overall condition of the ship, make necessary repairs and additions, and float the thing out of there.

Removal Progress

On Tuesday, residents of Giglio were provided with an update on the wreck removal process from, among others, Franco Gabrielli, Chief Commissioner of Italy’s Protezione Civile, which is the agency in charge of overseeing the operation. The residents were told that although technical details of the next phases still need to be approved before a more accurate timeline is provided, the removal process is moving forward steadily with about 500 workers and 30 vessels working around-the-clock.

Crews today are installing the last of six subsea platforms on which the ship will rest once upright. Each platform measures about 32 feet long by 22 meters high and weighs about 1,000 tons. The platforms are supported by large pillars that are attached to the granite seabed at a depth of about 10 meters.

Also in progress is the installation of high strength grout bags and mattresses, required to fill the gap between the two spurs of rock on which the wreck lies.

In addition, two of the eleven sponsons, or caissons, have already been positioned, welded and attached on the port side of the ship. The sponsons, built by Fincantieri, are large watertight boxes made of steel that will filled with water, providing leverage during the parbuckling, and then emptied, providing for flotation. Another 9 sponsons still need be positioned prior to the parbuckling. In total, 15 sponsons will be installed to each side of the ship prior to refloating.

As gCaptain reported last week, there has been no damage has been registered to the marine ecosystem outside the area of the construction site and the water quality around the site remains consistent with other portions of the island.

The Parbuckling

parbucklingThe parbuckling is easily the most anticipated phase of the removal process. It will be performed using strand jacks which will be tightening several cables attached to the top of the sponsons and to the subsea platforms. This is a very delicate phase, during which the forces involved have to be offset carefully to rotate the wreck without deforming the hull.

The entire uprighting operation is expect to take a few days, and will not interfere with tourist season in Giglio.

Costa Concordia Salvage Plan Revealed [PHOTO TOUR]

Representatives from Costa Crociere and the Italo-American consortium Titan-Micoperi today presented the details of their much anticipated plan to remove the wreck of Costa Concordia from the Island of Giglio using cranes and caissons to float the vessel.

As we learned weeks ago, Titan Salvage and Micoperi were selected to remove the stricken Costa Concordia from Giglio Island after beating out several leading salvage companies vying for the historic contract.  Titan Salvage, part of the Crowley Group, is an American-owned specialist marine salvage and wreck removal company and is a world leader in its field. Micoperi is a wellknown Italian marine contractor with a long history as a specialist in underwater construction and engineering.

The requirements laid out for the job included refloating the hull in one piece while giving top priority to minimize the environmental impact, protecting Giglio’s economy and tourism industry, and maximizing safety.

To do this, Titan-Micoperi will set up shop on the mainland near Piombino, where equipment and materials will be stored and crews will be housed, therefor avoiding impact on the island’s port activities and as not to clogg up the island’s limited hotel accomodations. The consortium says the work will begin in a few days and is expected to last about 12 months.

The plan to remove the wreckage has been divided into four basic stages, descibed below in photos:

Stage 1:

After stabilizing the ship, a subsea platform will be built and caissons that can be filled with water will be fixed to the side of the ship that is out of the water

 
The tieback chains prevent the wreck from sliding as forces are applied

 
Meanwhile fabrication and then installation of subsea platform to support the ship

Stage 2:

Two cranes fixed to the platform will pull the ship upright, helped by the caissons (a large watertight chamber), which will be filled with water.

 
Install the flotation tanks on the port side by welding to framework which was previously attacked to the hull

 
Pulling machines are connected to pulling points on the subsea platform

 
With flotation tanks and pullers in place, we can begin to roll the ship upright



Stage 3:

When the ship is upright, caissons will also be fixed to the other side of the hull.





Stage 4:

The caissons on both sides will then be emptied, after treating and purifying the water to protect the marine environment, and filled with air.







Once floated, the wreck will be towed to an Italian port and dealt with in according Italy. Meanwhile, the sea bottom will be cleaned and marine flora replanted.

The plan was selected by an evaluation team with specialist representatives from Costa Crociere, Carnival Corporation & plc, London Offshore Consultants and Standard P&I Club, with the collaboration of RINA and Fincantieri, because it best fulfills the main objectives of the operation — removal of the wreck in one piece, minimal risk, minimal environmental impact, protection of Giglio’s economy and tourism industry, and maximum safety.

While the method has been used before to refloat ships, never has it been done to this scale.  One thing is for sure however; whatever happens, the operation to refloat and remove the Costa Concordia from the shores of Giglio will be a historic one, and one the world will be keeping a close eye on.

Costa Concordia Shipwreck Has Had No Impact on Giglio’s Water Quality, Scientists Determine
.

The Costa Concordia shipwreck has had no impact on the water quality surrounding the site or on the shores of Giglio Island, scientists in Italy have determined.

Scientific data collected at the site has shown that, despite the presence of the wreck, the sea state is no different from the rest of the island’s waters and from the sea water of Tuscany. The tests were conducted on behalf of the Observatory that oversees the recovery of the Costa Concordia.

The findings, which were released to Giglio residents during a recent meeting on the progress of the salvage operation, are the result of research studies conducted by authoritative study groups from Arpat, Ispra and by the Universities of Florence, Pisa, Rome, Cagliari and the Politecnico of Marche.

Interestingly, the findings are the result of not only traditional water quality tests, but also by examining colonies of mussels and sea urchins which were specially put on the spot and regularly sampled. According to the scientists, the findings showed no difference from the same species collected in other areas of the Tuscan coast.

Scientists have therefore stated that the presence of the Costa Concordia, and the operations to remove the vessel, do not affect the overall environmental situation of the sea waters.

Scientists, however, did find an area of settled dust, made up of a mix of sand and cement, near the Costa Concordia that is the result of drilling holes into the seabed in order to support the underwater platforms and structures needed to remove the ship. Following a request from the Observatory, Costa Crociere has agreed to submit a report on these sediments, as well as a management and rollback plan.

How To Pull A Sinking Ship From The Rocks [VIDEO]
.

By John Konrad On January 24, 2012


Cougar Ace

Ever since the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia ran aground off Giglio, her gleaming white hull lying precariously sideways on the rocky seabed has sparked the question, can she can be saved?  While it’s unlikely this vessel will ever be placed back in service by Carnival, we do expect it to be removed from the rocks.

Cougar Ace

There are a few excellent videos and articles online which provide an inside look at marine salvage, the job of saving large ships in distress, the first being the inside story of the car carrier Cougar Ace which experienced severe ballast problems in the waters off a remote section of Alaska. Expertly telling the story is gCaptain friend Joshua Davis who gives a brief overview of the task in the following video:

Be sure to read the full account of the incident as written by Davis for Wired magazine: High Tech Cowboys of the Deep Seas: The Race to Save the Cougar Ace
