The European Commission adopted the 15th edition of the European List of Ship Recycling Facilities on 27 February.
- A first German yard has been added, located in Emden.
- Four EU yards have been re-approved in Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, and Spain.
- One yard in Türkiye also had its authorisation renewed.
Three shipyards were removed from the list:
- A Finnish yard opted not to renew its authorisation.
- A yard in Northern Ireland failed to provide the required renewal information.
- Another yard in Türkiye was found non-compliant with the EU Ship Recycling Regulation, notably on shoreline protection.
The updated European List now contains 41 ship recycling facilities: 30 in Europe (EU, Norway and the UK), 10 in Türkiye and 1 in the United States. Several of these shipyards can recycle large vessels.
