Update: She’s off! Track Costa Concordia Live – AIS MAP
Here is some underwater footage filmed from beneath the Costa Concordia on July 15, one day after the initial refloat of the shipwreck. In the video, you can clearly see the chains and cables that are wrapped around the hull of vessel, not to mention the fact that, yes, the Costa Concordia is floating once again!
The underwater footage has also given the salvage team an opportunity to further examine the condition of the ship’s hull as well as look for any signs of pollution. So far, no spills have been detected and monitoring of the water quality around the wreck continues.
