Corporate Philosophy– Maritime Recycling Consultants (“MRC”) believes that vessel recycling must be conducted using best practices that meet uniform standards relating to the handling and disposition of hazardous wastes; workplace safety; worker training and minimization of the waste stream.
MRC Template– As an affiliate of International Shipbreaking Limited (ISL), MRC can offer its clients a comprehensive program to govern all phases of vessel recycling. Since 1998, ISL has successfully completed the recycling of over 200,000 tons of government and commercial vessels and has become the leading supplier of these services to the United States Navy. The United States Navy has recognized ISL for its exemplary adherence to rigorous environmental, health and safety standards. If ship disposal can be performed successfully in the United States, meeting all federal standards, it can be done throughout the world!
By employing the MRC methodologies, international shipbreaking facilities can implement a successful business strategy that brings their operations into compliance with international standards, enhances working conditions for employees and protects the fragile marine environment.
