Ro-ro giant Wallenius Wilhelmsen says the European Union’s list of approved recycling shipyards already includes some physically able to handle any of its vessels.

The Norwegian-Swedish owned company, whose fleet includes vessels up to 8,000 ceu, has what it describes as significant numbers of EU and non-EU flagged ships.

Green-recycling proponent Wallenius Wilhelmsen has demolished 30 vessels in the past 10 years.
