The search of the wreck of the Costa Concordia began again at dawn on
Saturday, a week after the cruise liner came to grief on the rocks off
Italy's Tuscan coast.
Work was suspended on Friday after the vessel shifted slightly on its rocky ledge.
The delay has further complicated the work of divers who have already been hampered by poor visibility, floating objects and underwater debris.

Fears of oil spill amid plans to pump cruise liner

Emergency teams are battling to prevent the Costa Concordia from
causing major pollution in one of the least spoilt parts of the
Mediterranean.
There are fears that if the ship moves further down the rocks or sinks, fuel tanks may rupture causing a catastrophic oil spill.
High-tech equipment has detected movement of only a few millimetres an hour. It is not clear whether the sensors are detecting vibrations as the ship settles on the rocks, or whether the liner is being dragged off the reef.
