Best Tips for Finding a Reputable Ship Scrap Companies

Once a vessel reaches the end of its service life, most ship owners then sell their vessel to cash buyers. These dealers of the scraped vessel then bring the broken ship to its final destination- beaching yards in South Asia. After that, with the help of scrap dealers cash buyer bring the ‘end–of–life’ vessel into South Asia Yard. The cash buyers at first pay for the ship to the owner of the ship. Then after that, they sell the ship to that breaker who gives the highest vessel scrap price and this reselling of scraps is quite a profitable business.

Most of the time ship owners do not enter into direct contact with the beaching. By taking the help of cash buyers they avoid legal, financial hazards, and other risks related to the ship recycling business. They do not become responsible if the demolition of the ship causes an accident or do not abide by the pollution control law. On behalf of them, cash buyers take all the responsibilities. In most cases, cash buyers and scrap dealers become the same person to enjoy the full profit. Cash buyers buy the broken ship from where it is or in the second case the shipowner delivers the vessel to an agreed location. Dismantled vessels are then resold to beaching Yards in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Pakistan ship recycling companies have recently applied for a green Yard certificate. In Bangladesh, there is only one green Yard certified company.
