Completed the lifecycle of the shipping industry

More than 80% of vessels demolished today still end their lives on polluted beaches somewhere in South East Asia. Through a new business concept increasing the standards at the yard, Grieg Green has contributed to better working conditions and less polluted beaches.

Recycling at the yard

Contributing to increase the standard at the yards

Ship recycling through Grieg Green means it will be done at a certified yard in a dry dock, not at the beaches where materials goes straight into the soil. Waste handling is treated according to established procedures and employees use proper safety equipment and proper tools. Grieg Green is now using yards in both China and Turkey as these two countries have a long shipping tradition as well as being large importers of scrap steal.

From superintendent to Managing Director

The idea of establishing Grieg Green originated from a master thesis written by one of the superintendents at Grieg Star. The business case was presented to the board of directors at Grieg Star, who considered the business idea viable, both environmentally and financially. Grieg Green was then established and the superintendent became Managing Director.

Built by long term instinct

Both a financially viable and environmental friendly solution

After only five years in business, the company has become a market leader in its field, looking into new segments and signing contracts with both shipping- and offshore companies. As a Group, we believe that both the business concept and the environmental aspects are of vital importance, and that this is the future-oriented way of doing business. We are also eager to put these issues on the agenda both in Norway and internationally.
