ROME , May 30 (UPI) -- The cruise ship Costa Concordia, which capsized in 2012 off the coast of Italy, will be refloated beginning July 20.
On Friday the Italian business newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore revealed the date the abandoned ship will be removed. It added the ship will be scrapped in the port city of Genoa later this year. There were several other ports, elsewhere in Europe, bidding for the contract to scrap the ship.
