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.
