  A Dutch company that specializes in salvage1 operations says it will take weeks to remove the fuel from a cruise ship that capsized off Italy's coast.
  The company, Smit, says it plans to conduct a survey of the ship on Tuesday before the extraction process begins.
  "It is a race against time to empty the fuel tanks on the ship after they finish the inspections2 to find ... any other passengers or crew members," said Gaetano Benedetto, World Wildlife Federation's spokesperson in Italy.
  The rough seas near where the Costa Concordia remains3 aground have raised concerns of a possible fuel spill. None of the nearly 2 million liters of fuel have leaked out, but anti-spill booms have been placed around the wreck4.
  Italian rescuers have been searching for survivors5 inside the wreck of the cruise ship, which hit rocks and capsized off the coast late Friday.
  The search resumed Monday afternoon, hours after the Costa Concordia shifted on its rocky resting place in bad weather, sending divers6 fleeing to safety.
  Six people are known dead and 29 others remain missing. The ship's owners, Costa Crociere cruise lines, are blaming the accident on human error by the captain.
  A company spokesman says the captain was steering7 on an "unauthorized, unapproved" course before the ship got stuck. He says the captain steered8 too close to shore and made decisions during the emergency that did not follow company procedures, which are based on international standards.
  Captain Francesco Schettino is in police custody9, facing charges of manslaughter for allegedly abandoning the ship before all passengers were rescued.
  Officials say that when the ship hit the rocks, passengers were ordered to put on life jackets and to board life rafts. However, passengers say the ship tilted10 so sharply and quickly that many lifeboats could not be lowered into the water.
