Ships at the end of their economic life, and intended to dismantling, are considered as residues, according to the international and EU laws on residues. Furthermore, they are considered as dangerous residues if holding important amounts of dangerous substances, or when tanks have not been emptied of the respective dangerous substance load. This study presents the results of modelling the environmental impact of ships dismantling activity. The modelling was made for different ship types and for different scenarios. For the modelling a commercial software tool (SimaPro LCA) was used. From the different environmental impact assessment methods the following were used: CML1992, 2 CML Baseline 2000, Eco-indicator 99 (H) and IMPACT 2002+. The data used for the modelling was collected at a Portuguese dismantling shipyard.
