Video shows Petter Heier,CEO of Grieg Green, offering ship owners an alternative to the controversial “beaching” method to demolish ships.
Instead of dismantling ships on beaches causing long term adverse effects to the environment as well as health risks to workers, Grieg Green offers an advanced sustainable recycling solution. Watch how Grieg Green is able to make more impact and bring positive change to the shipping industry.
Unfortunately in this video again Commercial aspects have lead to neglecting the great improvements achieved for some ship recycling yards applying the beaching method.
Major owners, members of SSI and who previously limited themselves to China for “green recycling” are now sending their ships to the improved yards in India after assessing them in any detail.
It´s time that the old fashioned approach for separating green from not green facilities only looking at by the method they apply comes to an end.
Repeating that beaching is bad without looking into the details doesn´t make the statement true. Why do owners trust these statements and spend money for it? Speak to the managers and onwers of the improved “beaching yards” and inspect them yourself. With some technical know-how anybody is able to make his own judgement. If not, ask the guys who know all about it and can explain it.
