About
Mehreen Ship Recycling is a HKC compliant shipyard based in Ghoramara, Chittagong, Bangladesh, operating within one of the world's most established ship recycling regions.
The company specializes in the acquisition of end-of-life vessels, responsible ship recycling, material recovery, and the connection of recovered resources with local and international markets.
MSR approaches ship recycling as a structured resource recovery process. Beyond dismantling vessels, the industry connects maritime assets with workers, suppliers, transporters, traders, downstream industries, and buyers through the continued circulation of valuable materials and equipment.

Our Approach
Ship recycling requires careful planning, industrial knowledge, skilled workers, and effective connection with material markets. MSR manages the recycling process through several key stages.
The process begins with the evaluation and acquisition of end-of-life vessels. Each vessel is assessed according to its condition, material composition, operational history, and commercial suitability.
Before recycling activities begin, vessels are reviewed and prepared to support organized operations, responsible handling, and efficient recovery of materials.
Vessels are dismantled through structured processes designed around safety, organization, and responsible recovery practices.
Recovered materials are separated according to type, quality, and potential application. Steel, machinery, equipment, non-ferrous materials, and reusable components are directed toward appropriate markets.
Recovered resources are connected with local and international buyers, supporting continued use within industrial supply chains.
HKC Responsible Recycling
Responsible ship recycling requires planning, documentation, controlled operations, and responsible management of recovered materials alongside robust dismantling capability.
MSR is committed to practices aligned with the principles of the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships.
Through improved processes and documentation, the company aims to support safer operations, greater transparency, and responsible resource recovery.
Industrial Ecosystem Impact
Ship recycling maintains a resource recovery ecosystem that connects maritime assets with local and international industries.
People in direct and indirect employment connected to the wider ship recycling ecosystem
Through the recovery and circulation of materials, ship recycling supports industrial activity far beyond the recycling yard itself.
Resource Recovery
A vessel contains a wide range of materials and components that retain value beyond its operational life.
Recovered steel continues into construction, manufacturing, and industrial production.
Marine machinery and equipment may continue serving secondary markets through reuse, redistribution, and industrial applications.
Copper, aluminum, and other materials support specialized manufacturing and industrial requirements.
Recoverable components can continue supporting maritime and industrial activities.
