Our Comprehensive Ship Recycling Services


Wondering how we can support you? We can manage the entire recycling process or assist your team during specific project stages. Explore our range of services below to see how we can meet your needs.

1. Pre-planning & Inspection


We start by creating a solid ship recycling strategy tailored to your vessel. Our team performs a detailed Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) on board your ship, ensuring that all potentially harmful substances are identified and managed appropriately. Next, we take great care in selecting recycling facilities that are well-equipped to handle the task and adhere to international regulations and your requirements. We prepare and send out requests for information, review and evaluate the information received, and create a shortlist of suitable facilities, supported by yard audits if required.

2. Brokerage & Contracting


Navigating the legal and commercial aspects of ship recycling can be challenging. Our experts are specialized in obtaining beneficial recycling offers and negotiating favorable terms of sale. We carefully craft sales contracts that protect your interests while meeting your desired environmental standards.

3. Planning, Preparation & Delivery


Effective planning is key to successful ship recycling. We either develop or review a Ship Recycling Plan (SRP) that outlines every step of the process, ensuring full compliance and safety. Our team also manages the necessary waste movement notifications in accordance with the Basel convention and applicable EU regulations. Next, we assist you in preparing your vessel for its final journey to the recycling facility.

4. Recycling & Waste Management


As your partner, we oversee the recycling and waste management activities from start to finish. Acting as your representative on-site, we ensure that the recycling process is conducted according to the SRP and in compliance with all environmental and safety standards. We keep you informed of the progress through weekly updates, and upon completion, you receive a comprehensive report outlining every detail of the process.
