Smedegaarden A/S

Smedegaarden A/S is a Danish family-owned company headquartered in Esbjerg, Denmark, specialising in sustainable ship recycling and the sale of maritime and industrial equipment. Founded in 1962 by Henning Smedegaard as a trading company, the business evolved into a provider of ship recycling and demolition services for technological facilities. In 2014, the founder's sons Eddie, Klaus and Morten Smedegaard took over the company. Smedegaarden operates an environmentally approved shipbreaking and scrapping facility at Esbjerg harbour, where vessels are dismantled, parts are sorted for recycling or environmental treatment, and hulls are cut up on an environmentally safe cutting site. The company is included in the European list of approved companies for ship recycling. Alongside recycling, Smedegaarden maintains a large inventory of new and second-hand maritime and industrial equipment, serving customers worldwide. The company also holds authorisation for temporary storage of non-hazardous waste and, in cooperation with Hede Danmark, runs an intermediate storage facility for bio-waste (fishing silage) used for biogas production, with tanks of 1,700 m³ able to receive silage from both sea and land side. Its location at the edge of the Wadden Sea National Park informs its environmental commitments. Smedegaarden emphasises quality management, work safety and environmental awareness, and describes its vision as actively contributing to a sustainable world through environmentally friendly recycling of ship materials.

Smedegaarden A/S was founded in 1962 by Henning Smedegaard as a trading company. Over time, the business escalated from trading into providing services in the form of ship recycling and demolition of technological facilities. The company became a family-owned enterprise and, in 2014, the founder's sons Eddie, Klaus and Morten Smedegaard took over the company. Smedegaarden established itself as a shipbreaking yard in Esbjerg, Denmark, and is included in the European list of approved companies for ship recycling. Its ships are dismantled and subsequently scrapped at an environmentally approved plant in Esbjerg harbour. The company has also been authorised for temporary storage of non-hazardous waste and, in cooperation with Hede Danmark, runs an intermediate storage for bio-waste (fishing silage) used for biogas production, with tanks of 1,700 m³ that can receive fishing silage from both the sea and land side. According to the latest environmental requirements, Smedegaarden has established a high water-proof shipping area. The company's location at the border of the Vadehavet Sea National Park commits it to environmental responsibility, and it works purposefully to improve its quality management system, following up and improving work processes according to current environmental requirements.
