A Methodology For a 'Design for Ship Recycling'

Determining the effects of implementing IMO’s Hong Kong Convention’s requirements on the productivity of a ship recycling yard by using discrete event simulation

“…This is particularly important for developing countries, such as Indonesia, as these materials can be reutilised in different industries., e.g., metal from the ship can be rerolled/melted and reused in the construction industry. Furthermore, other equipment on board ships can be utilized in ships (during refit or repair) or other industries (e.g., diesel generators are often used in factories) (McKenna, Kurt, & Turan, 2012). Therefore, the ship recycling industry benefits from the economic development of the country.…”

Towards a circular maritime industry: Identifying strategy and technology solutions

“…The circular economy concept emerged as a response to the linear economy (Pearce and Turner, 1990), which is wasteful and dangerous to the environment (Michelini et al, 2017). Although the concept of 6R (redesign, reduce, reuse, recycle, remanufacture, repair) has become more prevalent in other industries, including the automotive and aeronautical transport modes, shipping presents a mixed overview (Gunbeyaz, 2019;McKenna et al, 2012).…”
