Big stocks after refits and dismantling
Tonnes of steel, cable and machinery pile up at the yard with no buyer lined up.
Every lot is listed up to 12 months before it comes off, so most of it is sold before it is cut loose.
What we solve
Refit stock becomes value before the ship arrives.
We know what comes off, when and where — and connect it to the companies closest by that can use it. Less waste, less transport, more value kept in Europe.

Live from the lots listed on NAUVIUM. CO₂ = listed tonnes per material × published saving of recycled vs. new material (t CO₂ per tonne):

02
Materials sold below their value
Unknown condition means low, scrap-level offers.
We know what each item is, its grade and when it comes off — buyers pay for what it really is.
03
Deals start too late
Selling only starts once material is on the quay.
Trading runs in the pre-refit window, before the physical project begins.
04
Long, heavy transport
Material travels across the continent to the first buyer who answers.
We map every lot to companies close by, cutting kilometres and CO₂.
05
Materials leaving Europe
Valuable metals are exported as low-grade scrap.
Lots are matched to European recyclers, OEMs and producers first.
06
Storage worries for shipyards
Yards lose quay space and time storing what came off.
Sold lots go straight to the buyer or into partner warehouses — the yard stays clear.
07
No overview for buyers
Recyclers, traders and manufacturers each see a fraction of the market.
One transparent feed for every buyer type, with dates, quantities and locations.
08
Maritime material stays in maritime
Parts rarely find a second life outside shipping.
Engines, pumps, wood and glass find new industries — real circularity.
How it runs
The loop
- 1
Ship file in
The vessel file tells us what is on board.
- 2
Materials known & mapped
Every lot gets a date, a place and a value.
- 3
Nearby buyers pre-buy
Companies closest by bid and buy months ahead.
- 4
Yard removes & stores
Sold lots leave the quay straight to the buyer.
- 5
New industry, new life
Maritime material starts a second life elsewhere.
