Höegh Tracer is currently on her last voyage and will arrive in the Shanghai area in the beginning of February 2011 - close to her 30 year anniversary.


Höegh Trubadour

Her last destination will be Changjiang Ship-breaking Co. up-river from Shanghai.

Maersk Ship Management BV will be responsible for planning and monitoring recycling in accordance with our Green Ship Recycling Specification.

Höegh Autoliners has adopted a Ship Recycling Policy based on the proposed IMO recycling convention (Hong Kong 2009). This ensures that the vessel is recycled in a safe and environmentally friendly way and will be disassembled under controlled conditions within a dock.

Höegh Tracer is the 10th Höegh Autoliners vessel to be recycled in this manner since 2009 and will be the second vessel recycling arranged through Maersk
