On June 28, 2013, the magazine Interviú published an article titled “The Hidden Business of Ship Dismantling,” written by journalist María Jesús Güemes. In this article, Recyship is highlighted as one of the few companies in Spain dedicated to the environmentally friendly dismantling of ships.
The piece addresses the serious environmental and labor issues associated with ship dismantling, a practice that, until recently, was largely carried out in countries with lax regulations, such as India or Bangladesh, where workers faced hazardous conditions and toxic waste was often dumped into the sea.
Recyship, based in the port of Algeciras, stands out for its commitment to sustainable practices, complying with European environmental standards. The company has dismantled ships such as the New Flame and the Federal Arctic, ensuring that the process is carried out with respect for both the environment and the safety of its workers.
This recognition in Interviú underscores Recyship’s pioneering role in Spain in this sector, promoting a model of responsible and regulated ship recycling.
