Crowley subsidiary TITAN Salvage and project partner Micoperi have confirmed that the 'Costa Concordia' is safely moored at the Port of Genoa Voltri, Italy, marking the completion of one of the largest maritime salvage jobs in history.
"Towing the disabled ship from the Tuscan Archipelago to the Mediterranean seaport of Genoa was a remarkably delicate task that required a convoy of more than a dozen support vessels, including two tugs with a combined 275 tonnes of bollard pull at the bow for the hull, and two additional auxiliary tugs positioned aft," commented TITAN.
TITAN Salvage's Nick Sloane, senior salvage master, and Rich Habib, salvage director, were onboard the Costa to provide around-the-clock, hands-on monitoring of the vessel's list, ballasting, and speed.
