You mean a POORER PLACE first?
- sk5t 13y agoLet's start with the assumption that the coast of Giglio is not the proper place... maybe a facility that specializes in scrapping and recycling of disused vessels would be better? That said, the ship breaking yards in Bangladesh don't look like pleasant places.
- alphakappa 13y agoI believe what georgeott is referring to is the fact that ships are often scrapped in poorer places like India where it's possible to deal with toxic materials with minimal oversight.
- ansible 13y agoYes, but the ship has to still be seaworthy to make it to India in the first place. The CC is definitely not seaworthy, so I expect it will be towed to the closest shipyard that can handle it.
- speeder 13y agoNo, he means proper for scrapping. You don't scrap a ship in the middle of the sea, you don't want oil, rotten food, battery acid, sewage, cargo, and any other random stuff that might exist on a ship floating around freely.
- Argorak 13y agoI don't know what you want to imply with the comment, could you please explain? It will be moved to a close harbor that can hold the ship (to my knowledge http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piombino http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piombino is discussed, currently). That sounds like reasonable thing to do.
