MorganMars Posted September 16, 2013 #4933 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think that I heard them say something in the press conference about needing to get the barge in place. I'm trying to watch and see if they are mooring it at the bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive and anne Posted September 16, 2013 #4934 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I wonder if the Guillotine is on Pioneer and that is why it is still so close. I think Nick Sloane and his immediate team maybe on the pontoon with the ROC on and he has moved to the problem they have at the bow. Still a lot of people walking around the wreck so it looks like it is still some time before the PB starts. Keep going everyone, Sleep is an unnecessary diversion 06.22 here in UK. Brilliant pictures from Rueters better than I ever hoped Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted September 16, 2013 #4935 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Once they begin, I read that it is the first hour which is most difficult and dangerous to the operation. So if they would start, I can hang in for an hour. All night? No- didn't sleep much last night and two nights in arow is too much.If it were 6:30 am it would be one thing- i is 11:30 pm here.

lightman1984 Posted September 16, 2013 #4936 Share Posted September 16, 2013 this is some extreme engineering. I mean, we all know this is a mammoth project, but as I watch the live feed and they pan over the ship, and the sponsons, and the anchor towers, to think that a series of 36 (little) steel cables and some restraint chains are going to right the enormous hulk that is the Costa Concordia - it's just amazing. All that weight and a couple strand jacks. I hope the next few hours go as planned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeck Posted September 16, 2013 #4938 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Quick question. Will they start pumping water in before they start lifting or will they take the tension first then start filling them as they lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if those cables they are running from the bow are the feeds for the audio and video and if those cables have to be secured to the ROC.

MorganMars Posted September 16, 2013 #4947 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Anyone figure out when they will begin? There is a live blog at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/10311659/Costa-Concordia-salvage-operation-live.html It says: 07.50 Here is the latest official statement from the consortium masterminding the salvage. No word yet on exactly when the operation will begin: The salvage Master Nick Sloane and the technicians of the operations team are embarking to reach the control room (on a barge which is now positioned off the bow of the Concordia). In the meantime the operations for the positioning of the operating units are still ongoing. The connections with the control room have been activated and systems testing is proceeding. Once this operation is completed, the parbuckling can begin. There are no technical problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
