Dutch shipowner Samskip is scrapping a 35-year-old reefer at an environmentally friendly yard in Norway.
The deal to recycle the 163,200-cbf Samskip Frost (built 1985) represents a key win for Green Yard, which has been touting its lower-impact indoor ship demolition method as shipowners face increasing scrutiny over scrapping practices.
“Today, Green Yard has taken over Samskip Frost for the purpose of recycling the ship," managing director Hans Jorgen Fedog said.
