Scott: My comment about Costa Concordia was aimed at the notion of re-floating her and repairing her, not the notion of clearing her away from the port. She definitely needs to be out of there.
My own thought is that she should be cut up and scrapped, post-haste. Five will get you ten that if she is successfully re-floated and towed in for repairs (say, to Bremerhaven), it is going to be found that repairs are financially infeasible, and she'll end up at Alang anyway. It's my opinion that, what with the present-day dependence on electrical and electronic gizmos on ships, making Costa Concordia operational again will be a financial nightmare. And even if refloated, repaired and re-named, there is a huge segment of the traveling public that is superstitious about such things, and wouldn't book a cruise on her.
