Company promises risk mitigation for ship recycling process
Canadian Maritime Engineering (CME) is hoping to bring shipbreaking to the Port Alberni waterfront.
Tony Kennedy, CME president, and Doug Anderson, vice president of operations, appeared virtually before a committee of the whole meeting on Monday, Nov. 18 to tell Port Alberni city council about the shipbreaking process. Shipbreaking is the disposal of a marine vessel through the breaking up of parts.
Kennedy explained that the federal government wants to see “a majority” of government vessels disposed of in Canada. Because of this, CME is currently developing a business model for shipbreaking.
