Serious environmental impacts of a ship's life cycle occur during building and end-of life phases. In this study, data gathered from the related sites in Turkey for steel hull building and its reverse process of steel hull recycling phases for different type of ships have been assessed by using SimaPro 8.2.3 software and CML-IA methodology to determine impact categories of abiotic depletions, acidification, eutrophication, global warming, ozone depletion, human toxicity, freshwater and marine aquatic ecotoxicities, terrestrial ecotoxicity and photochemical oxidation. Results from life cycle inventories and impact assessment have shown that 85% of the related impacts caused by shipbuilding and the complexity of the ship type have significant effects on these impacts. The paper has also shown that LCA is a valuable tool which can help stakeholders for a sustainable industries.
