Abstract

a) Newbuilding and scrapping: Scrapping refers to the act of breaking down a ship into

parts for disposal or reuse by reprocessing them. Newbuilding, as the name suggests,

refers to the construction of new ships using parts from the scrapping. Shipping policies

aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment will initially result in an

increased amount of newbuilding and scrapping. The environmental impact can be

reduced following these policies through an improved hull design achieved by breaking

down old ships to build new ones with better technologies (Hayman, Dogliani, Kvale,

& Fet, 2000). A better, newer hull design can reduce environmental impact by reducing:

operational emissions (through reduced fuel consumption) and accidental pollution

(through reduced oil spills and exposure to other harmful materials during an accident).

Also, an improvement in the quality of design, structure, outer coatings and working

conditions for workers and passengers would require scrapping and increase new

building which would finally lead to longevity of the ships and reduced scrapping in

the future.
