Fewer than three years have passed since the arrival of the Concordia wreck to Genoa, on July 27, 2014.
Described by Genova Industrie Navali, a holding group comprising T. Mariotti and San Giorgio del Porto shipyards, as 'one of the most important green ship recycling projects ever carried out in Europe', the process engaged more than 350 workers and took approximately 1m hours of work.
Some 78 companies (98% of them Italian) were involved.
Approximately 90% of the materials were recycled, equal to more than 53,000 tons, and required almost 4,000 trips to recycling facilities in Italy.
