    Default Inch green Drydock

    The large drydock in Greenock owned by Peel Ports has been leased to Atlas Decommissioning.
    The company is hoping to scrap a number of ships per year at the D. D. Facility, with the first arriving January 2022.
    So far 15 people have employed and this will rise to 30.

    Didn't Atlas have a decommissioning yard on the Tyne where they dismantled US Reserve fleet vessels, because USA yards would not handle them because of toxic content (asbestos). I note that just recently three Victory ships were released from the reserve fleet and towed in tandem to the Far East for dismantling because of asbestos content. I understand there are approx 90 (I stand to be corrected) Victory ships still in the reserve fleet, so business opportunities are still there

    interesting you mention hartlepool tony .....i was fortunate to go out with the lifeboat there some years ago a fine lifeboat and crew ...i was most impressed also with a small rigid .....which a female drove ....more than i have seen.... her approaches to the bigger lifeboat and coming alongside all points on the lifeboat under way were a fine show of seamanship ....and of course the hung monkey on there lifejackets was a very proud insignia of there town and history .....cappy
