A leading European environmental service provider
will build a ship demolition facility in south China's Guangdong Province, a
local publicity official said Friday.
Veolia Environment's south China plant will be its
first modern ship demolition research and development center, as well as an
advanced ship demolition plant that can demolish freighters with a light
displacement of up to 800,000 tonnes, said Lin Yingqing, deputy director of the
publicity department of the Xinhui District of the city of Jiangmen, where the
plant will be located.
Veolia will spend about 1 billion yuan (161 million
US dollars) to complete the plant's construction within 3 years.
Major products, including renewable materials,
recycling equipment and solid waste, will be purchased or dealt with by
relevant organizations.
Xinhui has been a primary center for ship demolition
over the last three decades and the new plant is hoped to solve related
environmental issues, increase efficiency and reduce potential safety hazards,
Lin said.
