本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛一艘载满有毒物质的船只，在被最少三个国家据之门外之后，终于结束了她漫长的旅程，即将在周日抵达英格兰进行拆卸再循环。
法国海军花了几年的时间来寻找一个合适的地点让这艘原来的航空母舰可门促号，现在被称呼为Q790 退役。这艘船里面含有能使人致癌的石棉。
绿色和平组织在2006年的埃及口岸爬上了这艘船，以阻止它被送到印度去当成废品被拆除。 这个环保运动组织在那个时候说这艘船装载有“高水平的石棉和其他有毒物质。” 两个成员爬上了这艘船的桅杆，打出横幅“ 石棉装载者：不要靠近印度。”
当法国总统希拉克在参议院做出这艘船的出口违反了欧洲法律后，命令召回这艘船时，绿色和平组织宣布了“胜利。”
这个组织宣称，在原先把船变成珊瑚礁的计划因为环境原因搁浅后，这艘船接连被土耳其和希腊拒绝。
为了能够拆解Q790，英国船只再循环公司不得不申请来自国家环保部和健康安全执委会的特别批准。
但是英国亚伯船只再循环公司把Q790抵达哈特而普尔当成一个里程碑式的胜利。
该公司在一份申明中说“ 拆解Q790将成为欧洲历史上最大的船只拆卸再循环工程。”
再循环工程将会在公司的提赛环保再生和在循环中心进行。这将为这个受到经济衰退影响地区创造200多个就业机会。
该公司的主席的行政执行官Peter Stephenson 说该合同 “ 非常的重要……特别在当今世界面临如此多的经济问题，特别是英国的东北地区。”
“再循环Q790将成为目前为止欧洲船坞最大的工程。 拥有这个世界上最大的干船坞，我们有能力进行再循环这艘船的工程。” 他补充到。
该公司说，从1957年下水以来，可门促航母就是法国海军的支柱。在过去近50年的积极服役生涯中，该船已经航行了超过一百万海里。亚伯总裁说, 该船将和另三艘英国，四艘美国船只一起在该中心被拆解再循环。
绿色和平组织没有反对Q790被转往英国。 但是媒体显示当地的绿色和平组织成员感到非常的失望。
LONDON, England (CNN) -- A ship laden with toxic substances is due to arrive in northeast England for recycling Sunday, ending an odyssey that has seen it turned away from at least three other countries.
The scrapping of the aircraft carrier has been hugely controversial and a major headache for France.
The French Navy spent years looking for a site that would decommission the former aircraft carrier Clemenceau, now known simply as the Q790. The ship contains asbestos, which can cause cancer.
Greenpeace activists boarded the ship off the coast of Egypt in 2006 to prevent it being sent to India to be scrapped. The environmental campaign group said at the time it contained "high levels of asbestos and other hazardous materials." Two activists climbed the ship's masts and hung banners reading "Absestos carrier: stay out of India."
The group declared "victory" a month later when then-President Jacques Chirac of France recalled the ship after the country's Council of State ruled its export could violate European law, Greenpeace said.
The ship had earlier been rejected by Turkey and Greece, after the original plan to turn it into an artificial reef was scrapped for environmental reasons, the group said.
The British ship recycling company that will scrap it had to apply for special permission from the country's Environment Agency and Health and Safety Executive.
But the company, Able Ship Recycling, hailed its arrival in the English city of Hartlepool as a milestone.
"The dismantling of the vessel will be the largest ship recycling project ever undertaken in Europe," the company said in a statement.
The work will take place at the company's Teesside Environmental Reclamation and Recycling Centre, where it will produce about 200 jobs in the economically depressed region.
Able chairman and chief executive Peter Stephenson said the contract was "crucially important... at a time when there are so many economic problems facing the world -- and especially a region such as the north-east of England."
"Recycling the Q790 will be the largest project so far handled by any European yard but, with the biggest dry dock in the world, we have the capacity to undertake the recycling of the vessel," he added.
Launched in 1957, the Clemenceau was the mainstay of the French naval fleet and sailed over a million nautical miles before being withdrawn from active service after almost four decades at sea, the company said. It will join the other three UK and four U.S. vessels also being recycled at the center, Able said.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
