Ship recycling refers to the responsible dismantling and processing of vessels that have reached the end of their operational life. Rather than allowing these ships to become environmental hazards or remain idle, the recycling process ensures that they are carefully taken apart in compliance with international safety and environmental standards.

During dismantling, valuable raw materials such as steel, copper, and aluminum are recovered, cleaned, and reintroduced into the global supply chain, supporting a circular economy and reducing the demand for newly extracted resources. At the same time, hazardous components—such as asbestos, oils, or chemical residues—are identified, contained, and disposed of under strict safety protocols, protecting both workers and the environment.

In this way, ship recycling contributes not only to sustainability and resource efficiency, but also to maritime safety and environmental protection, transforming the end of a vessel’s lifecycle into an opportunity for responsible resource management.
