I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that South African, Nick Sloane, led the team that successfully salvaged the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise liner on 17 September 2013;
2) further notes that this was the biggest salvage operation for a passenger liner ever undertaken;
3) recalls with concern that the 290-metre, 114 000-tonne vessel, which ran aground off the Italian island of Giglio on 13 January 2012, killed 32 people;
4) recognises Nick Sloane's contribution in leading the team that completed this feat; and
5) congratulates Nick Sloane on his achievement.
Agreed to.
