After giving some thought to this and reading the stories, i am wondering about the fuel. The boat has shifted a couple of times already and once they start to remove the fuel, I am wondering if the CG change will cause it to go off the ledge it is on ?.

Fuel recovery to begin Saturday...

A barge carrying a crane and other equipment has hitched itself to the toppled Costa Concordia, signalling the start of preliminary operations to remove a 1.9 million litres of fuel from the grounded cruise ship before it leaks into the pristine Tuscan sea.

As expected, the feeding frenzy begins...

Six passengers from shipwrecked Costa Concordia are suing Carnival Cruises in a Miami court seeking hundreds of millions of dollars.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. Federal Court seeks $460 million in damages and names Costa Cruises and its parent Carnival Corp. Both have offices in South Florida.
