Where did the maritime tradition come from of renaming a ship for her last voyage to the Breakers for scrapping? Any good answers

Hi Dave,

This has been covered before but I'll try to explain. It's not a tradition as such. Most ships intended for demolition are sold through intermediaries often referred to as cash buyers. These cash buyers then hope to re-sell ships at a profit to shipbreaking companies, primarily on the Indian sub-Continent. When any ship is sold there is usually a name change. The cash buyer is therefore doing what any trading buyer would do and is renaming his ship - maybe in response to a contract clause. It just so happens that his voyage is often the last one to the breakers yard.

and more to this, it is/was also a policy of "respected" shipowners not to be involved with the dirty business of shipscrapping, (and not cleaning up their vessels before going to the breakers yards) You may say want you want about Greenpeace, but they did a proper job in making shipscrapping a more safe and environmentally friendly industry over the years, and the scrap industry has responded by calling hemselves now "ship recyclers". :)

Hi.
Is name isn't changed to go ro the scrapyard. The name was changed some months ago when the ship was under reconstruction works in the shipyard, here in Lisbon. The costs of the repair was high and the ship conditon is 't the better, so they give up trying to repair it and introducing again in market has they do with Funchal (at moment laid up here is Lisboa. Porto the same way...)
