Last voyage for Costa Concordia cruise ship

Turning form Boat Design to Tax Design now?

:idea:

 

just a small digression, Seewolf.
You know, we Italians are like that .... we interpret the rules elastically.

 

Taxes hurt the market for boat designers, so I think it is relevant.

When buyers are punished for buying, they tend to keep their money in their wallets.

 

Ok, hoyt.
But in this specific td should discuss other things!
The title is different and we do mess.
Seewolf is rightly alarmed!

News from Concordia.

(AGI) - Roma, 4 feb. - Notte di paura per i 262 passeggeri e i 53 membri di equipaggio della nave della Tirrenia "Sharden", in partenza da Civitavecchia e diretta a Olbia, che poco prima di mezzanotte ha urtato contro un dente della diga foranea del porto, all'altezza del fanale verde. L'impatto ha provocato uno squarcio di circa 30 metri al di sopra della linea di galleggiamento ma l'immediato intervento della Guardia costiera locale, che ha coordinato l'intervento di due rimorchiatori, ha permesso di guidare la nave in banchina e di metterla in sicurezza. Un intervento provvidenziale per un incidente che a molti - soprattutto i passeggeri - ha fatto tornare in mente la tragedia della Concordia dell'Isola del Giglio. Nessun danno per i passeggeri che sono stati fatti sbarcare con una passerella: 50 di loro, quelli che viaggiavano senza auto, sono stati imbarcati all'alba su un altro traghetto della stessa compagnia, lo "Scintu", e arriveranno a Olbia in mattinata.
Supplemento di attesa, invece, per gli altri 212, con mezzi al seguito: anche loro sono gia' su un secondo traghetto della tirrenia, la "Nomentana", ferma pero' in porto in attesa che dalla "Sharden", una volta spostata e aperto il portellone posteriore, vengano scaricati auto e camion, che dovranno essere poi caricati sulla "Nomentana". Ancora da accertare le cause dell'incidente, ma appare probabile che un ruolo decisivo sia stato giocato dalle avverse condizioni meteo, in particolare dal vento che al momento dell'urto soffiava con raffiche di oltre 30 nodi. .

(AGI) - Rome, February 4 - Night of fear for the 262 passengers and 53 crew members of Tirrenia vessel "Sharden", departing from Civitavecchia to Olbia and direct, that shortly before midnight has struck against a tooth of the outer breakwater of the harbor, at the green light. The impact caused a hole of about 30 meters above the waterline, but the immediate attention of the local coastguard, who coordinated the operation of two tugs, has permission to drive the ship at the dock and put it in safety. A providential intervention for an accident that many - especially the passengers - brought back to mind the tragedy of Concord island of Giglio. No harm to the passengers were disembarked with a catwalk: 50 of them, those who were traveling without a car, were boarded at the dawn of another ferry of the same company, the "Scintu", and will arrive in Olbia in the morning.
Supplement to wait instead for the other 212, with the following media: they too are already 'on a second ferry of pise, the "Nomentana", but still' in port waiting for the "Sharden", once moved and open the tailgate, are downloaded cars and trucks, which will then be loaded on the "Nomentana". Yet to determine the cause of the accident, but it seems likely that a decisive role was played by adverse weather conditions, particularly wind that was blowing at the time of impact with gusts over 30 knots. .

Sharden

Quote: "Vessel actually, was pushed to port constructions by strong wind."

 

of course, is well explained in the articles I posted.
What you want to say?

 

Only one more source. Sorry

 

I was taking a photo of the sunrise at Civitavecchia last November and noticed that the Sharden was in port at that time.

 

In what wind and sea conditions do they close the port ? Locally, at force 8 they shut down. To difficult for the ships to manuver in the harbor. To difficult for the Pilot boats.

 

............ hard to accept a breach 30 meters.
With the ship in port!

 

bella foto!
