Scrap a Boat

Welcome to the Scrap a Boat archive. This is where you can see detailed accounts of the full boat disposal process, from the initial collection and salvage to the final responsible breaking and recycling.

Whether it’s a keel-less yacht, a submerged motorboat wreck, a fire-damaged vessel, or an osmosis-ridden cruiser, this section covers the diverse vessels and complex challenges the Boatbreakers team handles across the UK.

Boat Mould Disposal: Boatbreakers Breaking the Mould
The Boatbreakers team were on the road last week. It was a trip to Stratford Upon Avon for a boat mould disposal job. There were three large GRP boat moulds with multiple smaller moulds inside. Judging by the size of the moulds the boats that came out of them were big!
