SSN

In the late 1980's a new arrangement involving the recycling of materials was created which made it possible and profitable for ship owners to let their ships be salvaged with as goal to reduce the amount of overcapacity of barges.

In response to this new law SSN and HKS Metals created a partnership. In the same time period in 's-Gravendeel a demolition slope was being developed, which was designed specifically to meet the environmental requirements.

SSN now has more than 25 years of experience in recycling ships, offshore constructions and other objects. SSN combined with HAPO have been involved in multiple salvaging of ships including the car carrier ‘Tricolor’ and container ships ‘MSC Napoli’, ‘MSC Nikita’, and the ‘Rokia Delmas’. SSN's history clearly shows its capability in recycling and process (dangerous) raw materials.

SSN has recycled a great number of ships and constructions, including:

- 2500+ inland barges, cargo ships and tankers.
- 400+ seafaring cargo ships and tankers
- 2 Dutch Marine frigates (HRMS Tromp en HRMS De Ruyter)
- 3 German Marine submarines (U26, U28 and U30)
- 4 British nuclear fuel ships
- a Dutch coastguard boat (Waker)
- a BP owned drilling platform (P15)
- a disapproved mid section of the cruiseship Costa Classica

By following these guidelines, we are able to do work for companies wiith high standards regarding recycling their vessels. For example, we recycled vessels of the Dutch and German navy, transport vessels for nuclear waste of the British Government and other wrecks. Our company has been certified fo the ISO 9001 en ISO 14001 and VCA standards.
