Zambrano (National Engineers Council): it is necessary to plan surer ships and ports



The long and anguished event of the Costa Concordia cruise ship, been shipwrecked on January 13, 2012 to Isola del Giglio, would have to induce to place the attention on the planning of ships and surer ports. The National Prime Minister of the Engineers, Armando Zambrano has said, commenting the operations that have carried to the raising of Costa Concordia and that they will lead in the next few days to the transfer of the property left at death one near the port of Genoa.

Zambrano has emphasized that "how much is happening to Isola del Giglio is the demonstration of as this Country is able to organize exceptional technical resources". "The competence and the great efficiency of the Italian engineers, but - it has asserted - are being not only demonstrated fundamental". The National Prime Minister of the Engineers has evidenced as however the problem anything but is resolved: "to carry the Concord until Genoa - he has observed - it is a not simple enterprise considered also the structure strongly compromised of the ship. The result today is sure important, but we must consider it only a small step".

Moreover Zambrano has found the necessity to draw instructions from the event: "it is necessary - it has explained - to think immediately to as to be able to have more efficient and surer ships, with advanced technologies more: a double hull and immediate systems of water line that avoid danger situations. We must make this effort - it has specified - taking part also on the ports. The report us standard as he is indispensable to plan an adaptation, creating compatible structures with the current dimensions of the ships that often have difficulty to slow down. We must therefore head to having norms that allow the modifications of the town development plans of the ports in order to accelerate the procedures. Today the procedures are able to not to resolve these problems in times breviums. We must expect a change of route in order to avoid other disasters and the loss of other lives".

While Italian Space Agency (ASI) is putting on of the Civil Protection the acquisitions radar of the satellites of the Cosmos constellation in order to follow the operations of transfer of the property left at death one of Costa Concordia and to monitor eventual sversamenti of liquids in sea. The monitoring previews the acquisition at least a satellite image radar to the day and the images, will be analyzed by the University of the Studies of Florence - Department of Sciences of the Earth and yields available from the Foundation Top, Centers of Competence of the Department. The acquisitions of Cosmos, that they afford to monitor with any condition weather which succeeds and every eventual sversamento in sea, will be placed side by side by service GIO expanded memory specification Rush (GMES Initial Operation Emergency Service Management), operating to European level for the support to the civil protections afferent to the Copernicus program. The program, affords to obtain elaborations of coming satellite data from many international satellite missions, is radar that optical.
