Ship Recycling

We ensure safe and compliant decommissioning of vessels through structured planning and certified recycling partnership

Responsible vessel recycling is a vital part of a modern fleet strategy — not just for regulatory compliance, but for environmental stewardship and long-term value protection. Ryan Ship Management delivers fully managed, end-of-life recycling solutions that ensure safety, transparency, and full adherence to international standards.

Our team guides shipowners through the entire process, from assessing market timing and coordinating pre-recycling inspections to selecting certified green recycling yards. All facilities we work with meet or exceed the requirements of the Hong Kong Convention, the EU Ship Recycling Regulation, and other international frameworks, with full traceability and proper hazardous materials handling.

Every stage is carefully managed — including contract structuring, IHM verification, delivery, and formal closure — to provide maximum control with minimal risk. By ensuring safe dismantling practices and full environmental compliance, vessel owners can decommission older ships confidently and responsibly.

Recycling services are also integrated into broader fleet lifecycle planning, helping clients align asset retirement with market conditions, replacement schedules, and future sustainability goals. Whether retiring a single vessel or divesting an entire fleet segment, our structured, data-driven approach ensures each exit is both efficient and accountable.
