Every Ship Must Make Room for a New Beginning
Approximately 90% of world trade takes place by sea. With such a large volume, the demand for maritime transportation is constantly increasing, which drives ship owners to newbuilding ships. However, there is a cycle in the sector. Ships that have completed their service life are sent for recycling to make room for a new generation, environmentally friendly fleets. At this point, as VAV, we manage every stage of the ship recycling process with expertise.
We are not just a consultancy firm; we are a team that knows all the technical and legal details of this process and handle every step meticulously.
