CURRENTLY DISMANTLING

Dismantling boats can be a complex process, especially depending on their size and construction materials. It can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, especially for larger vessels or those with complex construction. It’s essential to approach the task with care, following safety protocols and environmental regulations throughout the process.

General Outline of the Dismantling Process

1. Empty the Boat: We remove any equipment, furnishings, and personal items from the boat. This includes everything from engines and electronics to furniture and fittings.
2. Drain Fluids: We drain all fluids from the boat, including fuel, oil, and coolant, following environmental regulations for disposal.
3. Assess and Plan: We then inspect the boat thoroughly to assess its construction, condition, and any hazardous materials it may contain, then develop a plan for dismantling, considering the boat’s structure and any salvageable components.
4. Remove Non-structural Components: We begin by removing non-structural components such as doors, windows, hatches, and fittings. These items can often be salvaged for reuse or resale.
5. Cutting and Disassemble: Depending on the boat’s construction, we may need to cut it into manageable sections for disposal. This typically involves using tools such as saws, grinders, or torches to cut through the hull and superstructure.
6. Separate Materials: We sort the materials for recycling or disposal. Metals like aluminum and steel can be recycled, while other materials may need to be disposed of properly.
7. Handling of Hazardous Material: We handle any hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead-based paints, or chemicals according to local regulations.
8. Final Disposal: Once the boat has been dismantled, we dispose of the remaining materials according to local regulations.
