CSR 2018 – BOSKALIS 53

Platform to adapt business processes in such a way that they meet Boskalis’ stringent requirements. During the ship dismantling process, knowledge is shared with the local yards. Vessels of 500 GT+ are dismantled at certified shipyards in accordance with the Hong Kong Convention and Boskalis’ own stricter standards. For older, 500 GT+ vessels that are offered for sale, we draw up an Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) as part of the sales contract. The sales contract also stipulates that, in the event of future dismantling, the new owner must dismantle the vessel on a hard surface and comply with the Hong Kong Convention. This year, we took a significant step by committing to the Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR), doing so ahead of the mandatory

date of 1 January 2019. The WSR sets out strict procedures for cross-border shipments of waste, the method of waste processing and the country of destination.

DISMANTLING IN 2018 This year a decision was taken for the environmentally responsible dismantling of six ships. All ships are low-end closed-stern heavy transport vessels (Swan, Swift, Teal, Transporter, Talisman, and Treasure). In addition, Rocky 1 a large backhoe dredger and the pontoon vessel Scradeway were dismantled. Preparations were made for the planned dismantling of three dredging vessels early in 2019.
