Costa Concordia in Piraeus, Greece,

Costa Concordia
Costa Concordia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkɔsta kon
ˈkɔrdja]) was a cruise ship operated by Costa Crociere.
She was the first of her class, followed by sister ships
Costa Serena, Costa Pacifica, Costa Favolosa and
Costa Fascinosa, and Carnival Splendor built for
Carnival Cruise Line. When the 114,137-ton Costa
Concordia and her sister ships entered service, they
were among the largest ships built in Italy until the
construction of the 130,000 GT Dream-class cruise
ships.
On 13 January 2012 at 21:45, Costa Concordia struck
a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the eastern shore
of Isola del Giglio. This tore open a 50 m (160 ft) gash
on the port side of her hull, which soon flooded parts of
the engine room, cutting power from the engines and
ship services. As water flooded in and the ship listed,
she drifted back towards the island and grounded near
shore, then rolled onto her starboard side, lying in an
unsteady position on a rocky underwater ledge.
The evacuation of Costa Concordia took over six
hours, and of the 3,229 passengers and 1,023 crew
known to have been aboard, 32 died. Francesco
Schettino, the ship's captain at that time, was tried and
found guilty of manslaughter, causing a maritime
accident, and abandoning his ship. He was sentenced
to sixteen years in prison in 2015.[3] The wreck was
salvaged three years after the incident and then towed
to the port of Genoa, where she was scrapped.[4]

Costa Concordia was ordered in 2004 by Carnival
Corporation from Fincantieri and built in the Sestri
Ponente yard in Genoa,[5] as yard number 6122.[6] At
the vessel's launch at Sestri Ponente on 2 September
2005,[7] the champagne bottle, released by model Eva
Herzigová, failed to break when swung against the hull
the first time. This type of occurrence is considered a
bad omen among seafarers, and this incident has been
partially blamed for the ship's 2008 accident and 2012
sinking.[8]
The ship was delivered to Costa on 30 June 2006.[9] It
cost €450 million (£372 million, US$570 million) to
build.[10] The name Concordia was intended to express
the wish for "continuing harmony, unity, and peace
between European nations".[11]
Costa Concordia was 290.20 metres (952 ft 1 in) long,
had a beam of 35.50 m (116 ft 6 in) and drew 8.20 m
(26 ft 11 in) of water. She had a Diesel-electric power
plant consisting of six 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V46C
four-stroke medium-speed diesel generating sets with a
combined output of 76.6 MW (102,780 hp).[12] These
main generators provided power for all shipboard
consumers from propulsion motors to hotel functions
such as lighting and air conditioning. The ship was
propelled by two 21-megawatt electric motors coupled
to fixed-pitch propellers.[13] Her design service speed
was 19.6 knots (36 km/h; 23 mph),[6] but during sea
trials, she achieved a speed of 23 knots (43 km/h;
26 mph).
Costa Concordia had 13 public decks, each named
after a European country. Deck 1 was the lowest:[14]
Deck 1 Olanda
(Holland)
Deck 2 Svezia
(Sweden)
Deck 3 Belgio
(Belgium)

Costa Concordia was outfitted with approximately 1,500 cabins; 505 with private balconies, and 55 with
direct access to the Samsara Spa, which were considered Spa staterooms; 58 suites had private balconies
and 12 had direct access to the spa. Costa Concordia had one of the world's largest exercise facility areas at
sea, the Samsara Spa, a two-level, 6,000 m2 (64,600 sq ft) fitness center, with gym, a thalassotherapy pool,
sauna, Turkish bath and a solarium. The ship had four swimming pools, two with retractable roofs, five
Jacuzzis, five spas, and a poolside movie theatre on the main pool deck.[15] There were also five on-board
restaurants, with Club Concordia and Samsara taking reservations-only dining. There were thirteen bars,
including a cigar and cognac bar and a coffee and chocolate bar. Entertainment options included a three-
level theatre, casino, a futuristic disco, a children's area equipped with video games and a basketball court.
She also had aboard a Grand Prix motor racing simulator and an internet café.[16]
On 22 November 2008, Costa Concordia suffered damage to her
bow when high winds over the Sicilian city of Palermo pushed the
ship against its dock. There were no injuries and repairs started
soon after.[16][17][18] Initial repairs were completed by the
December following the incident, but dents were still visible. The
area was later fully repaired in 2011 during the ship's refurbishment.
On 13 January 2012, under the command of Captain Francesco
Schettino, Costa Concordia departed Civitavecchia, the port that serves Rome, Italy, for a seven-night
cruise. At 21:45 local time (UTC+1), in calm seas and overcast weather, she collided with a rock off Isola
del Giglio, on the western coast of Italy approximately 100 km (54 nmi; 62 mi) northwest of Rome.[19][20]
A 53-metre (174 ft) long gash was made in the port-side hull, along three compartments of the engine room
(deck 0); resulting in power losses, leading to a loss of propulsion and loss of electrical systems, which
crippled the ship. Taking on water, the vessel listed to the port side. Twenty-four minutes later, strong winds
pushed the vessel back to Giglio Island, where she grounded 500 m (550 yd) north of the village of Giglio
Porto, resting on her starboard side in shallow waters, with most of her starboard side
underwater.[21][22][23]
Almost half of the ship remained above water, but it was in danger of sinking completely into a trough 70
metres (230 ft) deep.[24] Despite the gradual sinking of the ship, its complete loss of power, and its
proximity to shore in calm seas, an order to abandon ship was not issued until over an hour after the initial
impact. Although international maritime law requires all passengers to be evacuated within 30 minutes of an
order to abandon ship, the evacuation of Costa Concordia took over six hours. At the time, she was

Costa Concordia salvage operation
in progress
Costa Concordia on 12 September
2015, being scrapped in the
Superbacino dock in Genoa, Italy
carrying 3,206 passengers and 1,023 crew members.[25][26] The
accident resulted in 32 fatalities.[27][28] The body of the last missing
person, Indian crew member Russel Rebello, was recovered on 3
November 2014.[29] It appears that Rebello died while saving other
passengers.[30]
An initial assessment by
salvage expert company
Smit International estimated
that the removal of Costa Concordia and her 2,380 tonnes of
fuel[31][32] could take up to 10 months.[33] Smit advised that the
ship had been damaged beyond the hope of economical repair and
recommended it be written off as a constructive total loss. Smit was
soon contracted to initially remove only Concordia's fuel.
During the fuel removal operation, Smit reported that the ship had shifted 60 cm (24 in) in the three weeks
since her grounding, but that there was no immediate prospect of her breaking up or sinking deeper.[34]
Removal of the fuel from the various fuel tanks distributed throughout the ship was completed in March
2012, later than Smit's initial estimates. This cleared the way to arrange for the ultimate salvaging and
scrapping of the ship.
On 17 September 2013, Costa Concordia was brought to a vertical position through a parbuckling
procedure.[35][36] The cost for salvaging the ship increased to $799 million.[37] In addition, the ship had
suffered severe hull deformations in two places. Titan Salvage, the company directing the salvage
operations, estimated that the next phase of the salvage operation would be completed by early-to-mid-
2014. After this "floating" operation, the ship would be towed to a salvage yard on the Italian mainland for
scrapping or "breaking".[38]
On 14 July 2014, work commenced to refloat Costa Concordia in preparation for towing.[39] At this point,
the costs had risen to €1 billion. Including tow cost, €100 million for the ship to be broken up for scrap and
the cost of repairing damage to Giglio island, the estimated final cost was expected to be €1.5 billion ($2
billion).[40][41] On 23 July, having been refloated, the ship commenced its final journey under tow at a
speed of 2 knots (4 km/h; 2 mph), with a 14-ship escort, to be scrapped in Genoa.[42][43] It arrived at port
on 27 July, after a four-day journey. It was moored to a seawall at the port, awaiting dismantling
processes.[44][45]
On 11 May 2015, following initial dismantling, but still kept afloat
by the salvage sponsons, the hull was towed 10 miles (16 km) to
the Superbacino dock in Genoa for removal of the upper decks.[46]
The last of the sponsons were removed in August 2016 and the hull
was taken in to a drydock on 1 September for final dismantling.[47]
Scrapping of the ship was completed on 7 July 2017.[48]
In 2010, Costa Concordia provided the setting for Jean-Luc
Godard's film Socialisme.[49]
Salvage
In popular culture

5. U.S. poet and singer Patti Smith wrote parts of her 2012 album Banga onboard the ship. Smith and Lenny
Kaye were invited by Godard to accompany him while he was shooting Socialisme. The Banga CD
booklet includes photos taken of Smith and her band during their cruise.[50]
On 11 April 2012, a documentary broadcast in the United Kingdom, titled Terror at Sea: The Sinking of the
Costa Concordia, and another first broadcast on Channel 4, titled The Sinking of the Concordia: Caught on
Camera, featured footage recorded by the passengers and crew.
On 14 July 2012, a documentary titled Cruise Ship Disaster: Inside the Concordia, was first broadcast on
the Discovery Channel, CNN Presents: Cruise to Disaster, first broadcast by CNN[51] and another, titled
Inside Costa Concordia: Voices of Disaster, was first broadcast by the National Geographic Channel.[52]
The season 39 Nova episode "Why Ships Sink" discusses the sinking of Costa Concordia.[53] A later Nova
season 42 episode "Sunken Ship Rescue" featured the salvage effort and race to refloat and remove the
badly damaged Costa Concordia from the accident scene before the ship could break apart, risking an
environmental catastrophe.[54]
On 15 February 2013, ABC's 20/20 aired a special on the sinking and interviews with the survivors
following the engine fire on Carnival Triumph.[55]
In Paolo Sorrentino's 2013 film The Great Beauty, the wreckage of Costa Concordia is featured.[56]
On 10 November 2015, the U.S. syndicated true crime TV series Corrupt Crimes aired an episode about
the Costa Concordia sinking titled Death on the High Seas.
On 20 May 2016, band Car Seat Headrest released their album Teens of Denial including a song titled
"The Ballad of the Costa Concordia" which alludes to the wreck in the lyrics.
