The extraordinary maintenance operations on neoClassica the Costa cruise ship previously previewed from the 17 on 27 October to Genoa will be carried out in the yard of naval repairs Chantier Naval de Marseille (CNdM) of Marseilles. Costa Crociere has announced the crocieristica company confirming that in the next hours the ship will leave towards the French port and explaining that "the decision has become for the extreme create uncertainty in the last days on the effective resumption of the work and the consequent execution in the previewed times unavoidable".

The state of uncertainty to which ago reference the company is those determined from the state of agitation of the workers of Agency Genoa Basins, the society controlled from the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western that manage the dry docks of the port of Genoa, activity that soon will be entrusted to the management of private with a contest started from the AdSP for the exclusive use of the dry docks 2, 3, 4 and 5 that will expire next 17 November.

In recent days, with an unknown one taken of combined position, the president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti, the regional city council member to the Ports, Edoardo Rixi, the mayor of Genoa, Marco Bucci, and the president of the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western, Paolo Emilio Signorini, had characterized as "incomprehensible and unjustifiable" the strike which proclaimed from the work force of Agency Basins". "Such behavior - the representatives of the local institutions had denounced - appears irresponsible for the damages current that it provokes and still more for those future ones such to prejudice I walk of full valorization of the Agency undertaken in these months. Such autolesionistico attitude - they had emphasized Toti, Rixi, Bucci and Signorini - appears still more lacking than sense from the moment that all the work force of the yard, nobody excluded, have already had full guarantee from all the local authorities that nobody will lose own place of work in the covered undertaken one of privatization of the Agency, from too much auspicious and attended time from the productive woven one of the port and the city".
