September 17, 2013
Legambiente has restated the opportunity that the property left at death one of the Costa Concordia, put again in vertical order in the course of this night ( on 17 September 2013), it is carried in a port close where to carry out its dismantling and it has manifested instead own dissent to that the cruise ship is towed in an distant port from Isola del Giglio, where is shipwrecked, or quite in Turkey, as many times over it is assumed in recent months.
The national president of the association enviromentalist, Vittorio Cogliati Dezza, has turned "compliments to staff and the workers of Titan/Micoperi, with the Civil Protection and the Observatory for the recovery of Costa Concordia with the good resolution of the difficult spin of the property left at death one; graces also - it has specified Cogliati Dezza - to the Arpat, the University and the investigators who have held under control until this moment the pollution risk. Now - it has added - maximum attention goes dedicated to the obvious deformation of the hull and to the fort it gives quickly from the flank of the Costa Concordia who rested on the stumbling blocks, above all for the mass in work of the new large chests own on that side of the ship, in sight of the complex transport of the property left at death one in the port where the demolition will be carried out".
To such Vittorio Cogliati Dezza purpose it has declared: "we strongly hope that the Concord, with the hull so lesionato, is lead in a near port in a position to adequately guaranteeing safety of the workers and of the atmosphere and for this we reject with force the hypothesis, round to circular, to carry it until in Turkey, where, as they demonstrate also recent incidents, many yards are not adapted to the normative new of the European Union".
"We are convinced - the president of Legambiente Tuscany has convene, Fausto Ferruzza - than the better choice for digestion is that of the port more close, equipped for this purpose. We agree therefore with the president of the Rossi Region on avoiding "to carry in turn for the Mediterranean this steel monster with the risk to provoke serious damages to the marine atmosphere", and believe would be opportune that the event of the Concord was translate in opportunity for our Country. This - for Ferruzza - could be the occasion in order to create a equipped pole quickly, to the vanguard in the Mediterranean and with the measures demanded from the recent communitarian norm, in order to scrap the great second respectful innovative technical ships of the atmosphere and the health of the workers. In so far as we return to speed up the Industry and Ministries of Transportation so that they fastly proceed to characterize the site of digestion adapted in our Country, so to contribute also to cheap cancel world-wide shame of destructions in India".
"The Concord - it has concluded national president Cogliati Dezza - cannot more considered being a ship, but it is by now an enormous refusal, favorably floating and for this reason we consider that the choice of the final destination cannot be more entrusted to the private one involved in the incident. In order to avoid every risk he is indispensable to avoid dangerous and long navigations to Costa Concordia in order to carry it in the equipped port more neighbor".
With respect to the damages received from the flank of starboard and the other structures of Costa Concordia when the ship has leaned to the reef in he press of the harbour landing place of Isola del Giglio, that they are at the moment under consideration of the technicians, the head of the Department of the Civil Protection and delegated commissioner for the emergency Concord, Franco Gabrielli, has specified that the damage is of remarkable entity, but smaller of that feared. Gabrielli has confirmed that the next phases of the project preview that the property left at death one is stabilized in order to put up with the winter and that then the large chests will be placed long the starboard flank. It will follow the phase of rigalleggiamento of the ship and the operations will be concluded when the lascerà ship Isola del Giglio.
