Crucial Environmental Ltd, we are fully licensed and qualified to handle asbestos-related challenges on ships. Our specialised services comply with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, ensuring safe, thorough, and compliant asbestos removal from various types of ships.
Asbestos, once a prevalent material in shipbuilding due to its durability and fire-resistant properties, poses significant health risks. Airborne asbestos fibres can cause severe illnesses, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Identifying and removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from ships is vital to protect the health of the crew and other personnel.
