Environmental safety factor in mechanical cutting of marine cable during ship recycling
Abstract
In addition to the risks associated with cutting metal, the ship dismantling process can also expose workers and the environment to a number of hazardous chemicals, one of which is insulation and polychlorinated biphenyls in cables. This article discusses environmentally friendly methods for the disposal of cable systems left over from ship dismantling. It analyzes the types of marine cables, the composition of the wires, and the possible environmental risks associated with their improper disposal. Existing and new concepts for multi-blade wire stripping of insulation and contaminants using a mechanical approach are considered and their environmental benefits are outlined.
