CREATION OF A CONDITION FOR THE SHIP RECYCLING EXPEDIENCY

Abstract

Before ship recycling, a large number of issues, reflecting economic and technological problems, are resolved. At present, ship recycling expediency is justified by reducing the burden on the environment, since submerged (abandoned) ships are, in essence, a waste polluting the territory and water area of their location; and the owner of such an object is obliged to compensate for environmental damage in accordance with the existing calculation methods and current law. In this work, accounting for environmental damage both at the stage of ship’s storage and direct disposal at the ship recycling company is considered. The author proposes the condition of recycling expediency, which reflects the environmental friendliness of the technology used, the time effects of ship’s storage, both the ship as a whole and wastes after its cutting.
