No evidence of leakage in progress
Concordia refloating operation in progress 24/7. At the moment, the wreck has emerged of about 6.5 meters.
There are still 6 starboard sponsons to be lowered to their final position. Once this operation will be completed, deck 4 and 3 will emerge rapidly one after the other.
Last night, a small amount of hydrocarbons was spotted in the mid ship/aft of the wreck. The Oil Spill Response team was immediately activated and the area was cleaned through the use of absorbent booms.
At the moment, there is no evidence of leakage in progress.
The team is replacing the absorbing booms in the area. No damage in the structure, nor in the hot tap flanges, result from the technical assessments that have been performed.
