The company specified that it took 148 days (27 thousand working hours), of which 110 in the basin, to perform all activities propaedeutic, strip out, reclamation and finally cutting and demolition of the Mar Grande, a ship of 1,850 tons of 95.7 meters long gross tonnage, of the Sentinel, unit 72.1 meters long and 1,470 GRT, and Theodoros, long 63.0 meters and of the gross tonnage of 470 tons. The last two ships for years were in a state of abandonment in the port of call of the Ligurian capital due to the numerous difficulties technical-administrative and bureaucratic that prevented the demolition. "It's thanks to complex insights legal and good synergies between all the administrations involved - specified the captain of the vessel Alberto Battaglini of the Port Authority of Genoa - which you managed to bring in the basin the two "waste ships" abandoned for years in the port of Genoa. An exceptionally complex administrative process which, in the last phase, was facilitated by the possibility to demolish the units in Genoa in the San shipyards Giorgio del Porto, the only ones in Italy to be registered in the specific European list of ship breakers. Determinant in this phase was the role of the Harbour Master's Office of Genoa which, in application of the Union Regulation, has taken care of the first time at national level the approval of recycling of ships that entered the dock and subsequently organized the control activities on traceability of the "new waste" produced by the activity of demolition'.
