One of the most important aspects of the maritime business is ship recycling or ship breaking. Unfortunately, sub-standards ship scrapping may cause accidents resulting in human loss and environmental pollution. Hong Kong International Convention (HKC) for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, and European Union Ship Recycling Regulations (EU SRR) have introduced new ship recycling challenges that may be expensive and relatively difficult to apply. The aim of this paper is to identify the main topics of HKC and EU SRR articles that can be implemented in the early stage of the design and involved in the design spiral of a new ship towards a green recycling process. Hence, the concept of “design for recycling” if properly applied would avoid escaping of shipowners from the costly green ship recycling yards to cheap sub-standard ship recycling yards. A case study has been selected to illustrate one basic application of the proposed approach to indicate the cutting locations which verify a safe mode during towing of each partition until it reaches the cutting workshop inside the ship recycling yard. This situation will reduce the high costs of entering drydock for ship recycling and by implementing this method which is considered as an alternative method of entering dock for recycling but with low cost. Moreover, by applying two scenarios on the selected case study which are Scenario no. (1): “the first cutting location is at the midway of hold No. 1 and second one is at the midway of hold No. 4” and Scenario no. (2): “the first cutting location is at the midway of hold No.1 and second one is at the midway of hold No. 3”. Finally, it is noticed that the first scenario verifies the capability of sinkage risks while the second scenario is safer from sinkage.
