Project Description

Shipbreaking, or ship demolition, is a method of disposing of ships by breaking them into scrap for recycling. Most ships have a lifespan of only a few decades before they require repairs and become uneconomical. Shipbreaking allows the materials from which the ship is made, particularly steel, to be recycled. Equipment previously used on the ship can also be reused.
