Decommissioning naval assets requires the same engineering rigour and oversight applied throughout their service life. As platforms approach disposal, organisations must address technical, safety and regulatory requirements while ensuring that key engineering decisions are properly assessed and justified.
LR supports navies and defence organisations through decommissioning and disposal programmes. We provide technical assurance and certification to help clients assess the available evidence and make informed decisions that support safe and compliant end-of-life outcomes.
Naval platforms often contain sensitive equipment and controlled technologies that require specialist consideration before transfer. We provide independent technical assurance to help clients manage the engineering and security challenges associated with their disposal.
Environmental considerations
Environmental responsibilities continue throughout the decommissioning process. Naval assets may contain materials that require careful management as platforms move towards retirement. Understanding these obligations early helps organisations plan end-of-life activities more effectively and reduce uncertainty.
Our independent verification services include:
- Risk management for decommissioning and disposal activities
- Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) development and verification
- Assurance and certification supporting disposal and recycling programme
- Review of evidence to inform end-of-life decisions.
