Items Recovered For Reuse at the Time of Breaking Ship

Posted by Wirana Shipping Corporation on February 24th, 2021

Those companies there within the ship recycling industry are usually termed as cash buyers when they buy vessels with 100% cash. The cash buyers sell the vessel to the recycler in any ship recycling countries. For the ships bought based upon 'As In," the ship cash buyers take over the vessel to the delivery port and then board their crew to sail the ship. For the time being, the ships are re-flagged, given a new identity and fresh set of insurance coverage for the journey to the yards.

Upon the shipping delivery into the subcontinent, right-breaking ship cash buyers accept Lc or letter of credit as payment from their end ship recyclers. It's estimated that nearly 95% of ships for recycling are sold through cash buyers. Thus, the owners remain fully secure as their final payment for the ship isn't contingent upon getting funds from the end vessel's recyclers.

Following are the strict regulations for the ship recycling industry governance-

  • Ship recycling plan submission
