Footage from inside the Costa Concordia shipwreck off the Italian coast has been released, days before it is set to be refloated.

The wreck will be refloated within ten days, to be towed away from the Italian island where it ran aground and capsized two-and-a-half years ago.

Thirty-two people died in that catastrophe. The ship's captain, Francesco Schettino, is on trial accused of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship.

The hulk of the 290-metre ship was righted and secured in a complex operation off the Tuscan holiday island of Giglio last September.

With the arrival of calm summer weather, it is now due to be towed to Genoa to be broken up for scrap.

The last of 30 stabilising devices or 'sponsons' was attached to the wreck yesterday. Technicians will now start to test all the systems for the final refloating, the Concordia Wreck Removal Project said in a statement.

The organisers said the last phases of the project to remove the 114,500-tonne vessel, the largest maritime salvage in history, would be explained in detail in the next few days.
