MSR manages the recycling process through several key stages. ### Stage 01: Acquisition 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. ### Stage 02: Planning Before recycling activities begin, vessels are reviewed and prepared to support organized operations, responsible handling, and efficient recovery of materials. ### Stage 03: Dismantling Vessels are dismantled through structured processes designed around safety, organization, and responsible recovery practices. ### Stage 04: Sorting 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. ### Stage 05: Market Integration Recovered resources are connected with local and international buyers, supporting continued use within industrial supply chains. ## Safe and Environmentally Sound Practices (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.
