13. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Tommaso Pisino, commander of the Coast Guard in Carrara:
“The current situation is that the ship remains tilted at approximately 20 to 22 degrees from its original grounding position, the same it assumed on the night of the accident. All pollutants on board have been completely removed and the vessel is stable. It has not shifted from its initial position.”

16. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Tommaso Pisino, commander of the Coast Guard in Carrara:
"There were certainly positive factors that influenced the success of the operations. First of all, the crew got off the ship unharmed, there were no injuries and there were no particularly significant environmental aspects. Our observations, both with patrol boats and helicopters, but also satellite images provided to us by the European agency EMSA, have always confirmed the absence of (polluting) products in the sea.”

19. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Francesco Persiani, mayor of Massa:
“We are dealing with it with a sort of love-hate. On one hand, everyone is asking us when the ship will be removed, especially when the pier will be restored and returned to the city, it was one of the most beautiful walks on our coast, a symbolic place. At the same time, the season has started anyway, the ship ran aground near the pier, but on a wide coastline, 8 kilometres, it is clear that the beach establishment to the north and south of the pier have continued to be able to maintain their full activity.”

23. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Francesco Persiani, mayor of Massa:
“As I said before, there is a sort of love-hate relationship. From a certain point of view, it has become an attraction, of course we would have done without it. We will try to live with this situation. We hope that the removal operations of the Guang Rong ship can also take place in the summer, as soon as the shipowner or the insurer are able to activate this process. The sooner the ship is moved, the better, because we want to immediately start rebuilding the pier, which is what concerns us the most.”

26. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Itala Tenerani, president of the local beach operators’ association:
“People who arrive here and haven’t seen it yet ask a lot of questions, like how it could have happened, why it ended up right there, if it causes pollution problems, when they will take it away. The usual questions we also ask ourselves.”
