Rossi: for Costa Concordia "or it is taken in consideration also Piombino or all the Tuscany will be put sideways"
The last word on the destination of the property left at death one - it has emphasized the Tuscan governor - is up to the Observatory presided from the Tuscany Region
June 3, 2014
The port where verosimilmente the property left at death one of the Costa Concordia cruise ship will be carried is that of Genoa, destination that must still be made official but that it is chosen by the whom charged technicians to supervise to the phase of transfer of the ship from Isola del Giglio to the site of dismantling of the property left at death one ( on 30 May 2014). It is a decision that has enraged the president of the Tuscany Region, that a dry warning has launch: "for Costa Concordia - Enrico Rossi has said - we are to according to warning to the sailors, after that of the slid days: for the demolition of the property left at death one or it is taken in consideration also Piombino or all the Tuscany will be put sideways".
"In these days - it has added the president of the Tuscany Region - they have been the many festosi comments and the pre-emptive descriptions on the show kind that would have to be carried out to Genoa with the property left at death one of Costa Concordia, forgetting even that it has been be a matter of a tragedy. We in Tuscany cannot forget it, and first of all the voluntary service and people of the Lily cannot that has lend the first aids to the castaways in that night on January 13, 2012. As for the fact then that the destination must be by force Genoa, to the state of the things a desire appears only: it must be clearly that we will not allow with nobody to put to risk the marine atmosphere with operations that do not guarantee the maximum of safety".
Rossi has emphasized moreover that "the appraisal of the things is up first of all to the technicians and in particular to the Observatory presided from the Tuscany Region: this - it has remembered - has the task to estimate the proposals in technical center that Costa Crociere is left over for the removal of the property left at death one. The last word - the governor of the Tuscany has denounced - is not up therefore to a private one, as it seems from the reading of newspapers, and is not up to the company, that it is in charge of the disaster and that, at first, has had boldness to even advance the obscene proposal to make to demolish the ship transporting it outside of Italy, in Turkey; graces to some films appeared on all the tv has been understood finally to that type of demolition was aimed, in which social picture and with which environmental consequences. Then the Turkey hypothesis is sunk together with the Vanguard that end would have had there to carry the property left at death one. In any case to the state of the things the only papers that have arrived to the Observatory are those relative ones to the completion of the assembly of the large chests, previewed around the July end. The Observatory does not have at the moment relative sufficient documentation to the rigalleggiamento of the relative ship that must be made in front of the Lily and tantomeno to the transport with towing that, presumptively as law in some reports, must have as objective the port of Genoa".
"I - he has continued Rossi - am not a technician, but I afford to advance an intuitive objection, based on the common sense: to go to Genoa implies a long travel various days; the ship will have to pass for all the Tyrrhenian Sea and to cross the Sanctuary of the cetaceans remaining to the wide one without possibility of shelter in some port, in case had to change the meteorological conditions. I read moreover, always from the reports, than the ship it would be berthed to a dock to Voltri with the backdrop around 20 meters, where good part of the dismantling works would be executed. If this were true, but we still do not have the papers, I wonder in order which prejudice or for which interests is not wanted to be taken in consideration the hypothesis of Piombino".
"According to the president of the Harbour Authority of Piombino - it has concluded Rossi - to Piombino september it will be ready, be able to be in conditions better than Genoa Voltri and will have a dock to which berthing the ship with a backdrop of 20 meters, where they could be executed the same works of demolition. But the difference between Genoa and Piombino is substantial: Piombino is very more neighbor to the Lily of about fourth and the environmental risks would be reduced equally. To these objections it will have to be given a serious answer. For this we ask that the hypothesis of Piombino is taken in consideration and that is estimated carefully, without prejudices and which predetermined solutions. For us to the first place they are the reasons of the atmosphere on which it is the State that must be made to feel and must be made to be worth".
