Description
With ever more public interest, Ship Recycling has come out of the shadows of the maritime industry. With it comes rules, regulations, IMO conventions and ship owners can very easily lose track of the do’s and don’ts when handling old tonnage. Sea2Cradle takes the worries of your mind by providing all services to make Ship Recycling as easy as 1-2-3. From inventories trough brokerage advise to dismantling supervision Sea2Cradle has the team in place to provide the best of help.

Sea2Cradle is built around a highly skilled and experienced team that can handle ships in all shapes and sizes. With increasing demand from interested ship owners in green recycling the team handled dozens of ships over the last years, according to our own standards. Ship types vary from large FSO’s to small survey vessels and anything in between, owned by numerous highly respected names in the shipping industry.

Aside from raising the bar from an operational perspective we are actively participating in the legislational process and promoting green ship recycling options for the shipping industry. The team behind Sea2Cradle has for many years worked towards establishing a level playing field for Green Ship Recycling and have actively participated in IMO’s work leading to the Ship Recycling Convention. Furthermore we remain involved in future work of European Commission DG Environment, ILO, IMO, Basel Convention and local governments such as China, UK and the Netherlands.

Our aim is Zero pollution and Zero accidents and incidents. This can only be achieved by dedication and close monitoring of all aspects throughout the process. Our team has a successful track record of over 60 ships being recycled in China, outperforming the regulations. By working only with trusted and proven partners we have no doubt we can live up to our ambition of setting new standards for the industry.

Nearly all our recycling takes place at state-of-the-art facilities in China, where the whole process is documented in detail. The yards are ISO14001 and OHSMS18001 certified. Good relationships with additional yards in the U.S., the U.K., Turkey and Belgium that meet our standards provide alternative ship recycling facilities.

Our recycling procedures include a rigorous pre-cleaning, during which all hazardous materials are carefully handled, separated and disposed of, according to the highest standards. After the ship is cleaned the dismantling will take place in the most orderly fashion. The whole process is closely monitored by on-site staff. Upon completion the ship owner will receive comprehensive documentation of the entire process.
