Operation Costa Concordia - rotatation to upright position

Issued on:

The rotation to an upright position of the Costa Concordia cruise liner, that ran aground off the Tuscan coast of Giglio in January 2012, is expected to take place within days. More than 500 salvage operators have been working round-the-clock for months in an effort to ensure the successful operation of what is known as parbuckling.
