It is very difficult for us to buy Russian fishing vessels for scrap.
Almost all of them are stuffed with asbestos. Our cost for removal of this lethal asbestos is very high.
So owners sell their vessels to scrap yards in Litouania or Turkey because there they don't bother and let their workers remove the asbestos without any form of personal protection.
Best regards,
Peter

Am hoping conditions are better than in Alang and likes...
How long can it take to dismantle this size vessel?
Thanks for posting.

As you can see on the picture, our yard does fully comply with Belgian and European laws and Basel convention. As a matter of fact we have been named the first green shipbreaking yard in Europe. (and maybe the world?)
It takes us about 4 weeks to remove the complete upper structure, engines, gearbox etc...
The final cutting of the hull is done with a mobile scrap shear and for a vessel like the "Snekkar" it takes us about one week.
It takes longer to built a new one...

The latest years we've been mor into the seagoing vessels. On average about 40 ships (trawlers, dredgers, coasters, tugs etc...) meet their end every year.
I'll keep on sending pictures from other vessels we scrapped or are scrapping.
