Ship dismantling is a particularly complex and highly controversial issue because of its serious environmental and social implications, alongside the economic importance in several countries. In recent years, this issue has gained importance on the international political agenda, and particularly within the European Union (EU). This study aims to support objectives of the EU strategy on ship dismantling, particularly to improve ship dismantling conditions by examining the feasibility of establishing a set of criteria to identify ships likely to go for dismantling and the feasibility of establishing a list of green and safe ship dismantling facilities. The study aims at delivering an assessment on whether
