Green Ship Recycling

APT Global Marine & Offshore Engineering operates a BV-certified ship recycling facility in RAK Maritime City, approved under EPDA and government protocols. The yard is also certified by the Hong Kong & Basel Conventions. It functions with all the protocols needed for a EU approved recycling facility. Operational since December 2020, the yard spans 60,000 sqm and features an independent 180-meter quay, making it the first certified facility of its kind in the Middle East.

Our operations are guided by the principles of green ship recycling, ensuring safe material recovery and minimizing waste. This approach eliminates the need for beaching methods, thereby protecting the environment and safeguarding surrounding communities.

Green Ship Recycling

APT Global’s certified facility reflects a strong commitment to sustainability and responsible industrial practices within the maritime sector.

Through our Green Ship Recycling division, we have moved away from traditional dismantling practices that expose coastlines to hazardous materials. Instead, our advanced dry-dock facilities are designed to fully contain dismantling processes, preventing toxins from entering waterways and ensuring the safety of both the environment and our workforce.

All vessels are dismantled and recycled in compliance with EU regulations, national legislation, and international conventions including Basel, IMO, and ILO standards. We responsibly acquire end-of-life ships and process them within regulated frameworks.

Additionally, we collaborate with authorized and licensed partners across the globe for the recycling of metals and the safe handling of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

As the global energy landscape rapidly evolves, APT Global remains aligned with international efforts to transition toward clean energy. The UAE continues to lead regional sustainability initiatives, and in support of this vision, we have partnered with a well-established European company to introduce hydrogen-fueled generators.

By transitioning from conventional diesel generators to hydrogen-powered systems, APT Global is taking a significant step toward reducing carbon emissions and advancing sustainable industrial solutions. This initiative represents the first implementation of hydrogen-based power generation of its kind in the UAE, reinforcing our position as a leader in green innovation within the Middle East.
