Features
Analyzes vessel specifications (age, tonnage, class, condition, location) against current scrap steel prices and demolition market rates to estimate break-even and profit margins.
Assesses environmental restrictions, registry flags, hazmat containment requirements, and port-state control status to identify regulatory hurdles before you commit.
Evaluates asbestos, PCBs, ozone-depleting substances, and other hazardous materials regulations (Basel Convention, EU Ship Recycling Regulation, Hong Kong Convention) to flag costly surprises.
Compares demolition rates, yard capacity, labor costs, and commodity prices across regions to identify optimal demolition destinations and timing.
Creates a deal-specific checklist of required certifications, permits, and approvals (COIs, IMO certificates, flag state approvals) based on vessel history and destination.
Flags potential claims exposure including environmental liens, crew severance obligations, crew wage disputes, and seller indemnification gaps.
Generates professional, structured reports suitable for internal approval, investor briefings, or client proposals with clear risk-benefit narratives.

Deal Analysis Report: MV Example Vessel
Valuation Summary
- Vessel Details: Handymax bulk carrier, 2008 build, 55,000 DWT, Fair condition
- Current Scrap Rate: $620/LDT
- Estimated Hull Weight: 8,200 LDT
- Estimated Value: $5.1M–$5.4M (depending on yard location)
- Break-Even Analysis: At 12.5% broker fee = $637K–$675K gross revenue
Compliance Alerts (HIGH RISK)
- ⚠️ Hong Kong Convention: Ship certified compliant; pre-notification required 12 months before demolition
- ⚠️ EU Regulation: If dismantled in EU, requires EU-approved facilities and enhanced documentation
- ⚠️ Flag State (Liberia): Requires delisting certificate; 3–4 week approval cycle
Environmental Findings
- Asbestos: 1990s build—likely contains asbestos in insulation (manageable, cost ~$80K–$150K remediation)
- PCBs: Transformers + hydraulic systems require testing; assume $40K containment
- Bunker Fuel: ~350 MT heavy fuel oil—disposal cost ~$35K–$50K
Recommended Next Steps
- Obtain IMO documentation and class survey within 10 days
- Confirm demolition yard selection (suggest Alang for cost, Turkey for speed)
- Engage flag state 90 days before planned delivery
Risk Score: 6/10 (Moderate—manageable with standard preparation)
