Abandoned Boats
Eastney beach is a hot spot for end-of-life and abandoned boats. Over the years the Boatbreakers team has been tasked with removing many of the boats that have been ditched on the beach by former owners.
Part 2 of our 2019 recap...
2019 has been a busy year for Boatbreaker so far. From our first day back in after the new year we had boats turning up for disposal.
A marina in Gosport has become a dumping ground for dumped boats. The problem of owners leaving a boat to rot in a boatyard is a growing issue.
Our team found this video of abandoned boats in a Bermudan Boat Graveyard on Youtube. Whilst the video is a fairly short one it shows a worrying image of how many boat yards will end up looking if boats are left abandoned by their owners.
American Problem With Abandoned Boats, By Travis Fain, WRAL statehouse reporter.
In between the stormy wind and showers this week our team have been out collecting abandoned boats. The boats in question were rowing boats left on a public pontoon.
Next time you visit a marina, boatyard, canal or even just a harbour see how many boats you see that you think are end of life.
Eastney beach in Portsmouth is a regular destination for our team. Sadly it has become a local dumping ground for unwanted project boats.
Abandoned boats are a growing global problem. Boatbreakers focus our efforts on the UK and Europe but across the Atlantic there is a similar problem occurring. At Boatbreakers we often get enquiries from American boat owners who are looking to dispose of their end of life vessel in a responsible manner.
