| Abstract | ||
| Ship recycling is a significant industry controlled by a few countries that violates local and international laws, putting public health, safety, and the environment at risk. The European Union Ship Recycling Regulations and the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships have created new ship recycling regulations that may be expensive and difficult to implement. The high cost of ship recycling by conventional means lowers industry profits. The best options have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years, but no one has yet discovered the ideal answer, which has led researchers to devote their efforts in that direction. By employing the MAXSURF program to simulate the cutting process on a 400 m container ship as a case study, the stability of each block following cutting is examined. The results show that implementing this new approach early in the design phase could enhance the recycling process when the ship is retired. Also, the author proposed a modified ship recycling process through a new block diagram to show the recycling process concerning stakeholders. Applying this concept will solve the research problem, which concerns shipowners switching from a standard shipbreaking yard to a substandard one. Ultimately, the shipbreaking yard's capabilities will be less than the ship designer's requirements for his ship recycling plan. | ||
