The Costa Concordia Salvage Operation In Pictures

[Wizzo]

The Costa Concordia has been raised in the biggest salvage operation of its kind in maritime history.

Salvage teams will spend months stabilising it and preparing for it to be re-floated with the aid of additional giant buoyancy tanks before it is towed away for scrap.

Marine insurers who have to calculate the cost of covering a new breed of large cargo and cruise vessels have been watching progress closely, as any problems could have a significant impact on future insurance contracts.

There is a website dedicated to the entire operation.

And a time lapse film of it's righting (called Parbuckling - I guess and engineering term for the way they did it).
