Yes, it will but only at favorable weather which will be decided on Sunday.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it will look like after a year and a half under water

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #28 on:** September 14, 2013, 11:16:31 »

Probably a bit... rusty?

...and green.

Here's an impressive birds-eye view..

Hundreds of journalists and tv-reporters have arrived on the island, so there will be plenty of coverage.
Probably also some live-broadcasts of the operation (CNN among others)

I really wish everything go well

, but why in the video the ropes in under the sea aren't stretched?

The man in the video says that gravity takes over at that point. A little more ballast water will be poured into the sponsons for a gentle up-righting on the underwater support.

That's good. It's said to be righted at 6:00 (Italian time). I currently don't know how long will get...

I thought he said it would take over 12 hours since the operation has to be carried out delicately.

Well, it's decided. The salvage gets the 'go ahead' for tomorrow.

Going to take some time before we see some gradual movements. Hope the 20 months at Sea hasn't brought too much damage the ship's structure.

The video in the parbuckling site said (I thought?) that as soon she's in Civitavecchia, she will be sold for scrapping.

saltydog · « **Reply #40 on:** September 16, 2013, 07:16:52 »

It seems there will be a delay of some hours before anything happens, due to the weather..

pomperek · « **Reply #41 on:** September 16, 2013, 07:40:04 »

Probably already started. 12 to 24 hours of the operation

Jake_Savage · « **Reply #42 on:** September 16, 2013, 07:49:11 »

Swich to BBC Breakfast they are going to do a report in it soon.

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #43 on:** September 16, 2013, 08:09:24 »

The Parbuckling Project and Gilio News websites are getting so much use they won't even load...

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #44 on:** September 16, 2013, 08:13:47 »

Just a note to say that according to the BBC the operation has now begun.

GeoP17 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 16, 2013, 08:56:12 »

Good luck and....patience to all the workers

GeoP17 · « **Reply #46 on:** September 16, 2013, 10:04:38 »
