Did the costa concordia have a double hull?

Answer 1

No, the Costa Concordia did not have a double hull. The ship was designed with a single hull structure, which contributed to the severity of the damage when it struck a rock off the coast of Italy in January 2012. The absence of a double hull meant that the ship was more vulnerable to breaches in the hull, leading to water flooding into the vessel. This design choice has since raised concerns about safety standards in cruise ship construction.
