Chinook RIB Removal in Calshot | Boatbreakers Insurance Salvage

Insurance Write-Off Collection at Calshot

Insurance write-offs happen fast. When a collision leaves a vessel beyond repair, professional disposal is needed. That was the story for a recent job in Calshot. Boatbreakers collected the damaged hull of a Chinook RIB.

Assessing the Collision Damage

The RIB suffered a heavy impact at sea. This caused severe structural damage to her GRP hull and tubes. With the insurer writing the vessel off, the owner stripped her down. He removed almost all recoverable parts, including the outboard engine.

Fast Hiab Collection and Easy Yard Processing

Because no high-ticket items remained, there was nothing to offset our fees. However, collecting a stripped boat has a real silver lining. It makes the teardown process much faster back at our yard. Loading the lightweight shell at Calshot was quick and simple for our collection driver. The former owner had dropped the Rib off of her trailer onto blocks. Then our driver winched the hull up onto ours.

Efficient RIB Recycling and Disposal

Back at our base, our crew skipped the time-consuming stripping phase. We moved straight to final dismantling. The team separated the damaged tubes from the fibreglass hull for proper recycling.
