"Parbuckling operations of the Costa Concordia will begin tomorrow, Monday 16 September.
"the parbuckling or rotation will take about a couple of days, as the movement has to be extremely delicate and constantly monitored.
The parbuckling will be performed using strand jacks which will be tightening several cables attached to the top of the caissons and to the platforms, which will be pulled seawards, while the cables attached to the starboard turrets will be used for balancing.
This is a very delicate phase, during which the forces involved have to be offset carefully to rotate the wreck without deforming the hull."
