Fantastic article, from which we can determine that it will be doing somewhere near 240 knots when it arrives at it's final destination. Going back to where she was built in Italy to be broken up.

I'd think so. She'll be scrapped. Nothing of any functional use will be any good after prolonged immersion in salt water (well, maybe the props if they'll fit anything else and are undamaged).
I'd imagine most of the booze on board would be salvable if seals, corks and stoppers are undamaged. Bet there's a ton of cheap Italian sparkling on board !!! Ok , it's been eclipsed by airplane matters but concordia is on it's way

Why?
The salvage money has already been spent. Some of that will be recouped by the scrap value. They wouldn't get that if she fell to the floor of the Med.
I expect the cost of towing it and breaking it up will be close to the scrap value anyway...The salvage money has already been spent. Some of that will be recouped by the scrap value. They wouldn't get that if she fell to the floor of the Med.
Surprised you petrolheads haven't said more on this. But then again the mainstream news has moved on now the ship has been parbuckled, towed to Genoa and the Captain found guilty, but there's still a lot to do to fully dismantle the ship. Information can be found here:
