FLOATING SHIP RECYCLING SYSTEM (FSRS) - A NEW SOLUTION OF DISMANTLING SHIPS

Professor Hans Lundberg Artemis Ltd

The use of modern industrial technology our basic idea is to use modern industrial technologies in the ship dismantling and recycling process the FSRS system is designed according to a �safety first philosophy� based on Swedish tradition for safety and health and environmental protection In order to fullfil the IMO Hong Kong Convention and the EU Regulations

FSRS is a patent pending technology Artemis has a wide network in fields related to ship scrapping. We aim to fulfill the IMO Hong Kong Convention and EU Regulation. Based on this, we have created a technical solution that we call FSRS. Our goal is to implement BAT techniques into FSRS.

Ship breaking methods Beaching • Beaching method is widely applied in ship breaking today • Ship is sailed onto a tidal flat at high tide at its own power • Dismantling is performed at low tide using manual labour

Dry-dock • Involves docking the ship at shore, where water can be pumped out in order to dismantle parts below waterline.

• Often the ship is broken into large pieces which are carried to other areas for dismantling into smaller parts • Dry docking has been acknowledged as a more environmentally friendly method of ship dismantling

Afloat/ Slipway • This method differs from the former two in that dismantling begins while the ship is still in water • Scrapping of the interior is carried out first, and the rudder and propeller are often dismantled from the inside.

• As the ship’s weight is decreased, it is then pulled to the shore at high tide, and the remainder of the ship is dismantled out of water Source: The feasibility of a list of “green and safe” ship dismantling facilities and of a list of ships likely to go for dismantling, European Commission (DG ENV)
