Photo: The Parbuckling Project. World’s biggest salvage job is all tied up Righting the cruise ship Costa Concordia is the biggest single salvage operation ever undertaken. The use of high-performance ropes in the parbuckling exercise was crucial to its success. The largest and most complex maritime salvage operation ever carried out is expected to be completed this summer. The Costa Concordia parbuckling operation on the rocks of the Italian island of Giglio has been a success in many ways – not least for the objective of retrieving in one piece such a massive vessel (117,000 tons) with minimal damage to the delicate marine environment on which it foundered. *KIJ RGTHQTOCPEG TQRGU RNC[GF C MG[ TQNG KP VJG QRGTCVKQP &WVEJ OCPWHCEVWTGT &5/ &[PGGOC JCU DGGP UWRRN[KPI */2' JKIJ OQFWNWU RQN[GVJ[NGPG ſDTG DTCPFGF CU &[PGGOC ® HQT TQRGU WUGF KP VWI CPF UCNXCIG QRGTCVKQPU HQT CNOQUV [GCTU 4QRGU OCFG YKVJ &[PGGOC JCXG DGGP WUGF CTQWPF VJG YQTNF VQ JCWN VQ UCHGV[ GXGT[VJKPI HTQO UVTKEMGP UJKRU UVTCPFGF KP UJCNNQY YCVGTU VQ JWTTKECPGFCOCIGF QKN RNCVHQTOU $WV VJG Costa Concordia RTQLGEV KU RTQDCDN[ VJG EQORCP[ŏU OQUV ETKVKECN Ō CPF EGTVCKPN[ KVU OQUV JKIJRTQſNG Ō UCNXCIG RTQLGEV VQ FCVG &5/ &[PGGOCŏU UVTCVGI[ KU VQ GPCDNG NCTIG CPF EQORNGZ LQDU VQ DG ECTTKGF QWV YKVJ KPETGCUGF UCHGV[ CPF TGNKCDKNKV[ CEEQTFKPI VQ VJG EQORCP[ŏU )NQDCN /CTMGVKPI OCPCIGT -GFCT 5WNG 6JG Costa Concordia UCNXCIG QRGTCVKQP KU VJG WNVKOCVG GZCORNG QH VJKU UVTCVGI[ YQTMKPI KP RTCEVKEG ő6JKU KU VJG DKIIGUV UCNXCIG QRGTCVKQP ECTTKGF QWV D[ CP[DQF[ CP[YJGTGŒ UCKF 5WNG ő0GXGT DGHQTG JCU C UJKR QH VJKU UK\G DGGP UCNXCIGF KP QPG RKGEG 0QTOCNN[ YTGEMU CTG EWV WR CPF VJG RKGEGU CTG VJGP TGOQXGF DWV VJCV YCU PQV CP QRVKQP KP VJKU ECUG FWG VQ VJG NQECVKQP CPF KVU GPXKTQPOGPVCN UGPUKVKXKV[Œ 5VGGN YKTG TQRG TGOCKPU VJG OQUV EQOOQPN[ WUGF RTQFWEV KP UCNXCIG QRGTCVKQPU HQNNQYGF D[ RQN[GUVGT TQRG */2' CEEQWPVU HQT C UOCNN RQTVKQP QH VJG OCTMGV DWV KVU KORQTVCPEG KP GPXKTQPOGPVCNN[ETKVKECN QRGTCVKQPU KU DGKPI KPETGCUKPIN[ TGEQIPKUGF (QT VJG Costa Concordia UCNXCIG QRGTCVKQP VJG 75+VCNKCP LQKPV XGPVWTG DGVYGGP 6KVCP 5CNXCIG CPF /KEQRGTK TWNGF QWV VJG WUG QH UVGGN DGECWUG QH VJG JKIJ TKUM QH FCOCIG KV YQWNF ECWUG VQ VJG UGC ƀQQT CPF VQ TGFWEG VJG VQVCN YGKIJV QH VJG RCTDWEMNKPI U[UVGO 6KVCP/KEQRGTK TGCNKUGF GCTN[ QP VJCV CP[ TQRGU TGSWKTGF HQT VJG ETGCVKQP QH VJG JQNFDCEM U[UVGO VQ JQNF VJG YTGEM KP RNCEG CPF VJGP JGNR DTKPI KV WRTKIJV YQWNF TWD CNQPI VJG UGC ƀQQT #U KU YGNN MPQYP Costa Concordia YGPV CITQWPF KP CP CTGC QH ITGCV PCVWTCN DGCWV[ YJGTG VJG WPFGTYCVGT GEQU[UVGO KU XGT[ RTGEKQWU 5Q KV YCU KORGTCVKXG VJCV CP[ HWTVJGT FCOCIG VQ VJG GEQU[UVGO DG[QPF VJCV ECWUGF D[ VJG UJKR KVUGNH TWPPKPI CITQWPF DG MGRV VQ C OKPKOWO (QT VJKU TGCUQP VJG FGEKUKQP YCU OCFG VQ IQ HQT C TQRG U[UVGO VJCV KU PQV QPN[ EURO FOCUS GZVTGOGN[ UVTQPI DWV CNUQ XGT[ NKIJV CPF GCU[ VQ JCPFNG #U &[PGGOC JCU PGWVTCN DWQ[CPE[ KP YCVGT VJG TQRGU ECP DG GCUKN[ RWNNGF CNQPI D[ FKXGTU 0KEM 5NQCPG UCNXCIG OCUVGT HQT VJG RTQLGEV GUVKOCVGU VJCV KPUVCNNCVKQP QH VJG TQRGU KPENWFKPI RWNNKPI KPVQ RQUKVKQP CPF EQPPGEVKQPU CV GCEJ GPF VQQM CDQWV VYQ YGGMU NGUU VJCP KH UVGGN TQRGU JCF DGGP WUGF #NVJQWIJ VJG TQRGU OCFG YKVJ &[PGGOC FKF PQV FTCI CNQPI VJG UGCDGF CU UVGGN TQRGU YQWNF JCXG FQPG VJG[ YGTG UVKNN KP EQPUVCPV EQPVCEV CNQPI OWEJ QH VJGKT NGPIVJ YKVJ VJG JWNN QH VJG UJKR 6JKU OGCPV VJCV VJG[ PGGFGF UWTHCEG RTQVGEVKQP Ō YJKEJ KU YJGTG 0QTYGIKCP TQRG OCMGT 1HHUJQTG 6TCYN 5WRRN[ 165 EQOGU KPVQ VJG RKEVWTG 165 OCPWHCEVWTGF &GZVTQP ® 2NWU TQRGU YKVJ RCVGPVGF RTQVGEVKXG LCEMGVU YGTG EJQUGP ő9KVJ VJKU UQNWVKQP VJG TQRG EQTGU CTG MGRV UCHGT CU KU VJG NQECN GEQU[UVGOŒ UCKF 5WNG #NUQ VJG EQXGTU HQT VJG Costa Concordia RTQLGEV EQPVCKP C TGƀGEVKXG CFFKVKXG UQ VJG[ ECP GCUKN[ DG UGGP D[ FKXGTU YQTMKPI YKVJ VQTEJGU KP VJG FCTM The Costa Concordia QRGTCVKQP JCU RTQXKFGF 165 YKVJ KVU NCTIGUV UKPING QTFGT CPF OQUV JKIJRTQſNG UCNXCIG RTQLGEV GXGT 6JG EQORCP[ KU KPETGCUKPIN[ DGKPI UGGP CU VJG ŎIQ VQŏ EJQKEG HQT VWI TQRGU PQV NGCUV DGECWUG QH KVU JKIJRGTHQTOCPEG RTQVGEVKXG LCEMGVU (QT the Costa Concordia RTQLGEV EQTG CPF LCEMGV CTG OCFG KP VYQ FKHHGTGPV ITCFGU QH &[PGGOC GCEJ KFGCN HQT VJG URGEKſE CRRNKECVKQP 8GDLÓTP .ÓXKMPGU 5CNGU CPF /CTMGVKPI “This is the biggest salvage operation carried out by anybody, anywhere.
