- description: The TITAN Salvage/Micoperi team is ready to roll! The final stage of salvaging the "Costa Concordia" is estimated to begin during the early morning hours on Mon., Sept. 16. This video demonstrates the final action, or parbuckling, that will take place starting Monday. "Parbuckling" is the technical term for the process of rotating or rolling a sunken or stricken vessel upwards in order to return it to a vertical position. Parbuckling the "Costa Concordia" is a very unique engineering feat because it is the largest capsized passenger ship in history (approximately 300 meters in length and 114,000 gross tonnage) and because of its position. Site engineers estimate that the actual rotation is likely to take between 10 and 12 hours, though this is largely dependent on weather and other factors.
