What will happen to the Costa Concordia?
18 Answers
Was just wondering, What will happen to the ship? Will it be towed back to a dock and repaired, allowed to sink, or left where it is and be stripped bit by bit? Any sea faring folk who might know the answer, I'd be really glad to hear from you!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.it is estimated that the decommissioning of the ship will cost the company about $95 million this year, even if the boat can eventually be salvaged, but its insured for $513m. unlikely that crnival criuses will want to keep it as a cruiser, even if they renamed it.
step aboard the boat what sank.....etc doesn't bode well for even the most most hardy seafaring tar.

The Mirror this morning stated, It is possible to re-float by welding the damaged area but where the ship now lye's they cannot see what further damage has been caused, they also said that Large Cranes MIGHT be used with the rescue, but as said who would like to sleep in a cabin that MIGHT have held deceased passengers.
When ships are stuck on rocks, it is usual to make sure that they are firmly fixed where they are so that they don't grind themselves to pieces if the weather gets bad., This is usually done by flooding them. They can be patched up and floated off when conditions are most suitable. I can't think why if it can be floated to a dry dock it cannot be repaired re-fitted and re-commissioned. Worse cases than this have been fixed up.
The Herald of Free Enterprise was refloated and towed to dock. It was hoped to sell her, but the damaged proved to be too great to make repairing her cost effective. While being towed to Taiwan for scrap, she began to sink and had to undergo emergency repairs to get her to her final destination.
The Concordia is a modern, state of the art ship. It is clear the company will not want to resail her, but the insurance company might want to sell her if the price is better than the scrap value.
