Refloating the Costa Concordia - Day 1 Time-Lapse Video
On July 14, 2014, the Costa Concordia shipwreck was partially refloated by two meters from the artificial seabed on which it rested and moved approximately 30 meters to the east.
With the vessel now floating, over the next few days technicians will secure and maneuver the sponsons into their final positions before the full refloating takes place.
The entire refloating phase is expected to last 6 to 7 days. The Costa Concordia is scheduled to be towed to Genoa starting July 21, 2014, where it will be demolished. The tow is expected to take five days.
