Demolition of the wreck of the cruiseship Costa Concordia will take nearly two years to complete, according to the vessel’s owner, Costa Crociere.

In a statement confirming TradeWinds’ earlier report that the wreck will be finally dismantled in the port of Genoa, the company said the demolition job will take 22 months in total.

Two-and-a-half years have already passed since the Costa Concordia hit the rocks on Giglio Island in an accident that cost 34 lives.
