SOLUTIONS FOR OWNERS

We provide solutions for owners and deal with your concerns

We understand the ever changing environment that we operate in. Understanding recycling is a challenge faced by many owners and ISHIPS provides service and facilities to fulfil current and future global standards and demands.

ISHIPS are looking for long term partnerships with owners and operators to fulfil a critical service for the industry as a whole and address your concerns.

Concerns around non-performance of contracts and delayed delivery to the recycling facility.

Forced to deal with multiple yard owners and being forced to manage multiple buyer relations.

Uncertainty around the options open to owners and the stress of navigating towards the optimal solution.

Unfamiliarity with complex contractual questions and evolving industry norms.

The reputational risk associated with the responsible disposal of ships and offshore units.

Lack of in-house expertise to resolve these issues in a way that mitigates risk.
