Installation of S7 sponson
Installation of sponson S7 has been completed. Sponson S7 is the sixth of 15. Barge Micourier2 is at the site with sponsons S6 and S5 on board. The installation of S6 is about to complete.
Once the installation of all sponsons is completed, sponsons will be completely emptied with the use of a pneumatic system to provide the buoyancy needed to refloat the Concordia and prepare it for its transportation. After the completion of the emptying process, a section of about 18 m will remain submerged, according to the Parkbuckling project description.
The complete removal of the wreck from the site is expected to take place this summer.
