Costa Concordia P2 Port Sponson Installation Underway

The sponson has been lifted off through the Conquest crane and is now being submerged.

In the next hours it will be connected to the wreck. Following this installation, technicians will progress with the last of the 30 sponsons, P1.

In the refloating phase, sponsons will be gradually emptied of ballast water through compressed air systems, allowing the wreck to refloat.
