Höegh Autoliners has sold the Pure Car Truck Carrier Höegh
Traveller (built 1983) for recycling to Grieg Green which will provide
services to ensure safe and environmentally friendly “green recycling”
in China.“This is the 12th car carrier we have sold for green recycling
and we are pleased that Grieg Green will supply services to safeguard
safe and environmentally friendly recycling,” says Ingar Skiaker, CEO of Höegh Autoliners. “Our concern for safety and the environment applies all the way through the vessel’s life.”Höegh Autoliners implemented a policy in 2009 for green recycling of
car carriers reaching the commercial end of their lives. Grieg Green was selected based on good experience from one earlier recycled car carrier from Höegh Autoliners.“Grieg Green has been set up to provide shipowners with services for planning, monitoring and reporting green recycling,” says Petter Heier, CEO of Grieg Green AS. “We have successfully recycled several vessels and we are pleased that
Höegh Autoliners again has entrusted us to handle this project.”Grieg Green act as buyer of the Höegh Traveller and will resell the
vessel to the recycling yard in China. Grieg Green will in addition
supply services to ensure the recycling is carried out to the best
standards. Höegh Autoliners has adopted a Ship Recycling Policy based on the intentions in the IMO recycling convention proposed in 2009
ensuring that a vessel is recycled in a safe and environmentally
friendly way at a ship breaking yards which can document that certain
standards will be met.
