Costa has said in a statement that it "recognized the need to promptly address issues concerning the protection of the marine environment following the Costa Concordia accident."
The line has commissioned Smit Salvage of Rotterdam, Netherlands, to draw up a plan to recover the fuel reserves from the Concordia.
