Asbestos Removal in Cooperation with Batteryspray
Eurofins Maritime Services (EMS) has established a unique cooperation with Batteryspray, enabling shipowners to carry out asbestos removal under controlled conditions within their own organisation.
This innovative approach has already been accepted by the Dutch and Luxembourg flag states, with additional flag state approvals expected to follow. By applying this method, the total costs of asbestos removal can be reduced by approximately 60 percent compared to traditional asbestos removal methods.
To ensure continued compliance, each project starts with a thorough intake and assessment to verify that all flag state and classification society requirements are met. Throughout the process, EMS provides professional guidance, oversight and documentation to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
Key Benefits of the EMS – Batteryspray Method:
- Asbestos removal costs reduced by approximately 60%
- Proven protocols already accepted by classification societies and flag states
- Removal can be carried out by the ship’s own crew at a time convenient to the shipowner
- No operational downtime, allowing the vessel to remain in service

Through this cooperation, Eurofins and Batteryspray have successfully managed numerous vessels, resulting in complete asbestos removal with full acceptance by classification societies and flag states. This demonstrates Eurofins’ commitment to long-term partnerships, practical solutions, and cost-effective compliance.
