US-based International Shipbreaking Ltd (ISL) has completed its first demolition of a vessel from the European Union.
The Norwegian-flagged 16,000-dwt chemical tanker Wolverine was scrapped at ISL’s facility in Brownsville, Texas.
ISL, which is part of UK recycler EMR Group, said it has spent $30m on investments to meet the requirements of the rigorous EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SSR).
