NGO ‘Robin Des Bois’ Sees a Drop in Ship Recycling in Q1

In its quarterly report, the NGO analyses the ship recycling.

This year is special, because of the European Regulation No 1257/2013 on ship recycling, which entered into force on 1 January 2019. It applies to ships flying the flag of a Member State which must now be scrapped in an approved yard. The number of approved yards increased from 26 to 34. Two Danish, five Norwegian and one Turkish yards have been added.

Following ferries have been scrapped (Hyperlink connects with Fakta Om Fartyg)
