Our Management

Hazardous Waste Management

Ship recycling constitutes a waste management process, handling starts with the separation of elements from the ship. All hazardous materials as well as wastes generated during the ship recycling process are handled, separated, transported and stored only in safe containers / containments and / or on impermeable floors with effective drainage systems. Whenever hazardous wastes or materials containing such wastes are separated from the ship, contact with unprotected soil or the sea is prevented. Any contaminated material is either lifted (e.g. with a crane) onto impermeable floor or sealed in a way, that the soil or water can´t be contaminated. Hazardous waste management safety measures and handling procedures are based on a Risk Assessment and apply to the different Hazardous Materials.

• While developing the Ship recycling plan (SRP) IHMs is the foundation for ensuring safe and environment friendly ship recycling, The IHM provided by the ship owner or if it not complies with the current requirements than developed by competent person or team.
