Yesterday, the Suez Group announced having won the first contract of dismantling and deconstruction of the ship, for an amount of EUR 3.3 million. Built in 1942, the anti-submarine frigate retirement in 1959, was building of training the Navy until 2002. EchouĂŠe on a beach at Cherbourg and person to naval shipyard, she will be isolated wave by 7 metres high provisional dam, then cut the dry. The operation was entrusted to Endel and Sita France (Suez subsidiaries) and their partner CMN (construction mechanical of Normandy). While the old buildings are now clipped on the beaches of India or Pakistan in conditions denounced by associations for the defence of the rights of man and the environment, the French group indicates that the traceability of all waste present on the ship will be ensured, since their location on the building until their disposal or recovery.
The case of the "Clemenceau".
Sector specialists expect that will be candidate for the dismantling of the "Clemenceau". The Office Veritas, which took the market studies of the ex-porte-avions, must soon give his report on the actual content of the ship. Interested groups can then decide if they meet the tender of service areas. SITA France says look at the single folder. A tandem incorporated companies Bartin Recycling and Europlasma is created with a view to the creation of this new market. The issue of the negotiations between the French State, the Ministry of defence and businesses is to implement a viable sector economically and anti-pollution standards. Because these vessels contain not only of asbestos, but sulphuric acid and cadmium also.
It is estimated that the French Navy has 70 ships of more than thirty years. For three years, 4 old ships of the US Army waiting in a British port. The association for the defence of the Robin Hood environment estimated that the overall tonnage of vessels wrecked declared is 10 million tonnes, corresponding to 500 units. "The market remains depressed despite the withdrawal in the middle of some tankers last", adds the association, which considers however that the number of end-of-life ships should proceed to 1,200 per year in the coming ten years.
The convention of the IMO
The question is asked whether to push for the development of a sector in Europe, to work to improve the conditions in the Asian shipyards. In Bangladesh, this activity is crucial, since 80 of steel produced by this country come from the second merger of from scrap of the demolition of ships and, recycled, it allows to save 70 of the energy required for primary steel cycle. Finally, it can live for thousands of families. The international maritime Organization (IMO) is developing an agreement on decommissioning could be subject to ratification from 2008 and would compel national marine and trade vessel owners to subsidize the destruction of their property, instead of selling it to the more Offerors to Indian and Pakistani intermediaries.
