This video shows the Costa Concordia under tow from an aerial drone. It was filmed Wednesday morning after the shipwreck departed the island of Giglio under tow by two tugs. The two tugs in the video are the Blizzard and the Resolve Earl (black), which together have a combined horsepower of 24,000 and 275 tons of bollard pull.
Two auxiliary tugs are positioned off the stern of the Costa Concordia, as it heads west-southwest to a point south of the island of Montecristo. The convoy will then head west-northwest to a position south of the island called Scoglio d'Africa before crossing the Ligurian Sea to the Port of Genoa Voltri in Genoa, where the cruise ship will be demolished. Arrival in Genoa is scheduled for Saturday afternoon or Sunday, depending on weather conditions.
