Understanding offshore decommissioning
The process includes:
- Planning and assessment: A detailed evaluation of the structure, environmental risks, and project requirements.
- Dismantling and transportation: Safe removal of offshore structures to cleaning, dismantling and recycling facilities.
- Onshore recycling and waste management: Cleaning, dismantling, sorting, reusing, and recycling or disposal of materials in an environmentally responsible way.
This process is not only technical but also highly regulated. Compliance with international and local laws, such as Basel Convention, Hong Kong Convention and OSPAR, is essential to ensure environmental protection and legal accountability.
Our role is focused on the onshore recycling phase, ensuring that dismantling safely and materials are processed with minimal environmental impact and in full compliance with international and local regulations.
The challenges of offshore decommissioning
Offshore decommissioning presents unique challenges that require expert handling:
- Environmental Impact: Improper decommissioning can harm marine ecosystems.
- Complex Logistics: Transporting large structures from remote offshore locations to onshore recycling facilities demands precise planning.
- Safety Concerns: Ensuring the safety of personnel and preventing accidents during dismantling and transportation.
- Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to stringent global and local regulations.
By partnering with Sea2Cradle, your company ensures that the onshore recycling phase is handled with expertise, efficiency, and compliance.
