SHIP AND
VESSEL RECYCLING

We have been recycling ships and marine structures since the end of World War II. Past customers include the US Navy, US Maritime Administration, Royal Australian Navy and numerous multi-national ship owners.

We have arranged and successfully completed the towing of many vessels and marine structures using our in-house expertise and a network of trusted and experienced third-party tow companies.

In 2015, we managed and completed the tow of ex-USS Ranger all the way from Bremerton, Washington, down the west coast of the Americas, through the Straits of Magellan and up the east coast of the Americas to Brownsville, Texas; a journey of over 16,000 nautical miles.
