IIMS Magazine Article
Boatbreakers have been featured in the December edition of ‘The Report’. The magazine is produced by the International Institute of Marine Surveying. To read the article click: Here.
We write blog articles that talk about the issues we face in the boat disposal industry. The team at the IIMS approached us to see if they could feature an article in the magazine. We are always happy to be featured in any marine publication.
To read the article follow this link to the IIMS site: ‘The Report’ December 2019. There you can download a PDF version of the magazine.
In addition to the IIMS magazine, we have also featured in Yachting Monthly & Waterways World. The Boatbreakers team are constantly trying to highlight the growing issue of old boats. Eventually, it will be an issue that will affect everyone. Taxpayers across the world will end up having their contributions spent on clearing the waste.
If all this talk about end of life boats sounds close to home and you have a boat you think needs scrapping… Just use our Scrap Calculator for your Free no-obligation quote.

Luke completed a journalism degree in Brighton University and fortunately for us uses this in his communications, Facebook posts, Tweets and emails to tell all our enquirers and followers what we are up to. Without Luke we would be lost, he runs the office, keeps us organised and is like a terrier and never lets a tricky boat disposal job go un-photographed or Tweeted about.
He also manages all of our enquiries passing them to whoever in the team is the best suited to deal with it. We are teaching Luke how to drive a motorboat or sail a yacht so while he’s learning we suggest you keep out of the Solent!
When he’s not at work he’s a massive football fan (his Dad used to play for Portsmouth FC years ago) and seems to know everything there is to know about any player, anywhere. Next time you ring and he answers, think of a tricky football trivia question and ask him

We feel that the marine industry is about to wake up to the fact that something must be done to deal with the thousands of boats that are or will soon become floating scrap. If you are a boat owner, boat lover, or boat blogger we want to hear what you have to say.
