Increasing environmental protection requirements could make the recycling of ships lucrative again in Germany. In Emden, EWD wants to benefit from this development.
Yachts, submarines, research vessels, cruise liners: German shipyards build the most diverse and sophisticated ships. They also rebuild, repair and maintain them. However, there is a lack of companies that dismantle old ships. Ship recycling is currently largely "non-existent" in Germany, explains Reinhard Lüken from the German Shipbuilding and Ocean Industries Association. The European Union has a list of companies that are authorised to recycle certain EU-flagged ships - however, there is no entry from Germany, but there are from Denmark, the Netherlands and Turkey, for example.
