GENOA, Italy (AP) — The shipwrecked Costa Concordia cruise liner completed its final journey, reaching Genoa on Sunday where it will be scrapped.

GIGLIO, Italy (AP) -- The shipwrecked Costa Concordia was successfully refloated Monday in preparation to be towed away for scrapping, 30 months after it struck a reef and capsized, killing 32 people.

2 years ago, the Costa Concordia made news when it hit a rock, flooded and sank off the Giglio Islands on the western cost of Italy. 32 people died aboard the ship. Now some underwater footage shows what remains of the wreckage.

Italian cruise line Costa Crociere SpA has announced new safety measures following the deadly grounding of its ship off Tuscany, saying it will now have real-time tracking of its ships' routes and will impose limits on captains' absolute authority.

The operator of the capsized Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia says work to remove the vessel from its rocky perch off Tuscany will begin early next month and is expected to take 12 months.

Costa Crociere SpA is offering uninjured passengers euro11,000 ($14,460) apiece to compensate them for lost baggage and psychological trauma after its cruise ship ran aground and capsized off Tuscany when the captain deviated from his route.

Experts can begin pumping fuel from a capsized cruise ship as early as Tuesday to avert a possible environmental catastrophe and the ship is stable enough to let search efforts go on for those still missing, Italian officials said.
