Asbestos Removal in Cooperation with Batteryspray
Eurofins Maritime Services – EMS & Batteryspray Asbestos Removal Method
Eurofins Maritime Services (EMS) has established a unique cooperation with Batteryspray, enabling shipowners to perform 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 approvals expected. By applying this method, asbestos removal costs can be reduced by approximately 60% compared to traditional removal methods.
Project process and compliance:
- Each project begins with a thorough intake and assessment to verify compliance with flag state and classification society requirements.
- EMS provides professional guidance, oversight, and documentation throughout the removal process to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
Key benefits of the EMS – Batteryspray method:
- Significant cost savings – Up to 60% reduction compared to traditional asbestos removal methods
- Flag state & classification society approved protocols – Proven and recognised procedures
- Crew-managed removal – Removal can be carried out by the ship’s own crew at a convenient time
- No operational downtime – Vessel remains in service during asbestos removal
- Avoid high external contractor costs – Reduces reliance on certified external removal services
- Global flexibility – Method can be applied anywhere in the world
- Professional project management – Ensures safety, compliance, and documentation throughout
- Tailored project planning – Intake meetings with shipowner or manager to plan and verify compliance
Through this cooperation, Eurofins and Batteryspray have successfully managed numerous vessels, achieving complete asbestos removal with full acceptance by classification societies and flag states.
This demonstrates Eurofins’ commitment to practical solutions, long-term partnerships, and cost-effective compliance in asbestos management.
