BBC News - Costa Concordia: Search suspended after ship shifts
The search of the Costa Concordia cruise ship has been suspended after the capsized vessel slipped, the Italian coast guard says.
Officials are hoping to begin salvage work soon, including pumping oil off the wreck, as hopes fade of finding any more survivors.
Twenty-three people are missing, and 11 confirmed dead, after the huge ship crashed into rocks on Friday.
There are fears the vessel might slip into deeper water off the Tuscan coast.
"Instruments indicated the ship had moved. We are in the process of evaluating if it has found a new resting point to allow us to resume," fire department spokesman Luca Cari said.
Along with the salvage workers - who will begin operations once rescue efforts have been declared over - a specialist team from Dutch salvage company SMIT is to prepare to pump more than 2,300 tonnes of fuel from the ship's 17 tanks.
The firm says this could take several weeks. Experts believe there is little risk of a major fuel leak that would contaminate the scenic area.
Hungary's foreign ministry said one of the recovered bodies was that of Sandor Feher, a 38-year-old Hungarian musician working on board, the Associated Press news agency reported.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, who is visiting London, said: "Any such disaster could and should be avoided".
He added that his government was working to limit any environmental damage.
