Green end for Hoëgh Traveller

This is the second car carrier sold by Hoëgh Autoliners to Grieg Green for recycling since the ro/ro transport specialist implemented an environmentally friendly end of life policy for its vessels in 2009. Grieg Green will act as the buyer of the vessel and resell Hoëgh Traveller to a Chinese recycling yard where it will then ensure the disposal of the ship meets certain green criteria.

"This is the 12th car carrier we have sold for green recycling and we are pleased that Grieg Green will supply services to safeguard safe and environmentally friendly recycling," says Ingar Skiaker, ceo of Höegh Autoliners. "Our concern for safety and the environment applies all the way through the vessel's life."

"Grieg Green has been set up to provide shipowners with services for planning, monitoring and reporting green recycling," says Petter Heier, ceo of Grieg Green AS. "We have successfully recycled several vessels and we are pleased that Höegh Autoliners again has entrusted us to handle this project."
