The former Costa Concordia
has been successfully scrapped, according to a statement from San Giorgio del
Porto, the shipyard that carried out the work in Genoa in partnership with
Saipem.
Concordia After a tremendous recovery project to tow the
ship away, the vessel was recycled over the course of a multi-year project,
said the yard, marking one of the “most important green ship recycling projects
ever carried out in Europe.”
“The success of these
operations represents an additional recognition of the high value of Italian
naval engineering, while demonstrating the importance of a ship recycling
activity that is respectful of the environment and of the safety of workers, in
accordance with the most recent European regulations,” the shipyard said.
The Concordia’s wreck
arrived in Genoa on July 27, 2014. The scrapping project employed up to 350
workers from 78 suppliers and sub-contractors. Total recycled material added up
to over 53,000 tons, said the yard, calling for just under 4,000 trips to
recycling facilities in Italy.
