Default Costa Concordia water tight comparments

Unfortunately, the damage to the ship's hull affected many of the water
tight compartments.


The ship can be righted by use of inflatable balloons, but this may not
be practical with the damaged hull.

The ship could be towed to Genoa and repaired at Mariotti or towed to
Fincanterri near Venice, where it was built, even on it's side.
Regardless of how the ship is towed further damage will be incurred in
the movement of the ship, but
a complete renovation of the entire ship's FF&E
will be required, along with a name change to perhaps: "COSTA LOT".
