Seventeen people are now confirmed dead after the cruise ship struck rocks and
ran aground on January 13 with 4,200 passengers and crew on board and more
than 15 people are still missing.
The
17-deck Costa Concordia was run aground in the rocky bay about an
hour after its captain, Francesco Schettino, misjudged a ‘sail-past’ of the Italian
island of Giglio and rammed it into rocks, ripping a massive tear in its
hull.
Schettino is under house arrest at his home near Sorrento, accused of
manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship along with first
officer Ciro Ambrosio.
Meanwhile, there were fresh concerns on Sunday about a potential environmental
disaster after experts discovered the ship had moved 1.4 inches over a
six-hour period from midnight to 6am.
Search and salvage operations were suspended after the move was detected while
heavy seas and strong winds also made it unsafe to continue operations.
A barge carrying pumping equipment that was attached to the capsized ship was
withdrawn on Saturday and it was unclear when operations might resume.
One of the scientists monitoring the ship, Professor Riccardo Fanti from the
University of Florence, said the ship’s latest movement was of serious
concern. Until now the ship has been moving 3 to 4 millimetres an hour.
“This is much higher than before,” Prof Fanti said on Sunday. ”
It is the highest rate we have recorded. We are very concerned about this
acceleration.” Experts are concerned that the ship may slide off the
rock shelf where it is perched into deeper water before salvage teams can
recover the 2,400 tonnes of fuel on board and avert an environmental
disaster in Giglio, a popular marine reserve.
Franco Gabrielli, the head of the Costa Concordia emergency operation, on
Sunday said it would take “seven to 10 months” to remove the wreckage of the
ship from Giglio once the fuel had been removed.
