    Don't think its nuclear. I was thinking of the cadmium, mercury and such like that will be onboard.

    Able are a US company scrapping a French ship. They are exploiting a workforce in a economicaly depressed area. It should have been sent back to the country of origin.

    I am sure Teeside has the technology to deal with this. It will be fine.

    started a topic Offshore/onshore?
