  2. DIVEST is an international project for green ship recycling. Dismantling Vessels With Enhanced Safety And Technology 12 Partners: BVT Surface Fleet Limited (UK), Dokuz Eylul Univeristy (TR), Germanischer Lloyd AG (DE), India Institute of Technology Mumbai (IN), MediMetal SA (SE), Navalink ROM SRL (RO), Swerea IVF AB (SE), The Netherlands’ Organization for Applied Scientific Research (NL), TWI Ltd (UK), Universities of Glasgow & Strathclyde (UK), University of Patras (GR), V.Navy (FR), 36 Months: From August 1st, 2008 until July 31st, 2011. €2.5m funding 9 Countries: France, Germany, Greece, India, Netherlands, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom. www.divest-project.eu UNRESTRICTED 1

  3. The Project implements an innovative risk-intelligent, holistic approach. Dismantling Vessels With Enhanced Safety And Technology • Innovative: • looking at ‘value’ arguments: both qualitative and quantitative, • benchmarking is undertaken across a broad range of industries with similar issues, • Holistic: • the analysis of ship dismantling combines social, legal, technical, environmental and economic drivers and constraints, • Risk intelligent: • the most appropriate, validated, risk and economic tools and models are applied to each individual steps of dismantling chain UNRESTRICTED 2

  4. DIVEST will deliver pragmatic, pertinent and immediately useable output. Dismantling Vessels With Enhanced Safety And Technology • A set of validated risk and economic models that will cover the entirety of the ship dismantling space, • An information exchange accessible to the stakeholder community, • A set of policy recommendations on the optimum recycling facility and process, UNRESTRICTED 3

  5. Our research will have a direct and measurable impact on the stakeholder community. Dismantling Vessels With Enhanced Safety And Technology • A suite of tailored training programs tested and validated in-situ (India for example), • Active dissemination from day 1 and until the very end of the Project. UNRESTRICTED 4

  6. The impact of DIVEST is amplified by the EU program environment. Dismantling Vessels With Enhanced Safety And Technology • Access to broad network of pertinent research and dynamic universities and commercial entities, • Prestigious funding framework enhancing credibility of individual actors and fostering further dissemination and networking, • Interest from broader stakeholder community (World Bank, Governments etc.).
