Deep pockets would help too. A Leander class frigate is probably worth $1m plus in scrap value, less the cost of getting it to the breakers yard of course. Then there's the costs involved in de-oiling and de-plastic'ing & whatever else need to be removed to sanitise the vessel, and then scuttling. Great idea Mattoo, but a few artificial FADs like the old Queens Buoy off the BOI might be more achievable. Of course, the best ones in NZ have got names like Maui A and Maui B, but having to stay 500m away reduces their usefulness |
