Cleaning Up Costa Concordia's 180,000-Ton Ruins

When a shipwreck the size of the Costa Concordia needs to be removed, experts turn to a process called parbuckling: rolling it underwater with hydraulics, then carefully towing it away.

Most of the time in real emergency situations, lifeboats can be rendered virtually useless if the ship is tilting one side or the other which is almost always the case, if abandon ship is announced early enough while the ship is still upright then of course there's more chance of success.

[@gonger03]

The ship is barely 60,000 mass tons. If you found a number saying its 180,000 tons it's probably its gross tonnage which used to be defined as 100 cubic feet, and later on Defined by a formula. Gross tonnage is a measurement of all internal enclosed volume in a ship which impacts the design, regulations, and fares to pay. On the other hand a Tonne is defined as a tun of wine containing 954 litres or 1016 kg which is called a Long ton nowadays.

[@chrishunt4584]

Huh

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

1 Brutto Tonne in nautics is equal 2.83 cubic meters. So this cruiser had 180.000BT volumen and I would assume around 50-55.000 metric tonns.

[@theokingshango]

Stop it, a ton is 1000 kilo, stick to that pls

[@wilsjane]

@@theokingshango A ton (an imperial measurement) is 20 hundredweight, which is equivalent to 1,016 Kg 1,000 Kg is a metric tonne. Their is no REAL weight for a ship. since other than its basic structure, the weight of cargo, additional furnishings, passengers, along with fuel and water carried are all variable. Therefore a formula based on internal usable volume was devised. Unless you work in shipping, it is all very confusing.

Gross Tonnage is a measurement of volume, not weight. The ships weight plus it's contents do not weight 180,000 tons. The ships actual weight (displacement) is around 60-70,000 tons.

[@tugst547]

Christopher Digital *its

[@tjfSIM]

The ship's actual weight is not the displacement. Displacement is a mesaure of how much water a ship's hull 'displaces'. The actual weight of the ship itself is the 'lightship' weight. Costa Concordia has a lightship weight of roughly 45,000 tons.

[@christophergoodman404]

Its registered tonnage was 114000

[@ScaniaVabis580]

It was 114, 147gt (gross tonnage). However... That's not taking into account the amount of water inside the hull and the rock in the 160ft gash in it's port side (which was removed before it was successfully righted.)

[@christophergoodman404]

I just read that the engineers established 60000 tons of water in the ship. So I guess that would bring it close to 180000 tons
