Proprietary Technology
The FOIL Basin Patent
FoilDock Panama's patented contained dry-dock system — the physical foundation of compliant ship recycling in Panama.
Patented Containment Technology
The FOIL Basin — Contained Recycling Infrastructure
The FOIL Basin is FoilDock Panama's core patented technology — a purpose-built dry-dock containment system designed to enable fully compliant ship recycling under the Hong Kong Convention, EU Ship Recycling Regulation, and ISO 30000 standard.
Unlike traditional beaching or graving dock methods, the FOIL Basin fully contains the vessel and all materials during the entire dismantling process. This means zero discharge of oil, hazardous materials, or contaminated water to the marine environment — a physical compliance guarantee rather than a process aspiration.
The patent covers the structural design, material flow systems, containment mechanisms, and integrated environmental monitoring systems that make the FOIL Basin the most technically advanced compliant ship recycling infrastructure available in the Western Hemisphere.
As the sole authorised GREENDOCK licensee in Panama and the LATAM region, FoilDock Panama holds exclusive rights to deploy the FOIL Basin technology across Panama's Pacific port infrastructure — creating a defensible competitive position in the growing compliant ship recycling market.
The FOIL Basin physically contains the vessel and all process materials — preventing any environmental release during dismantling.
Eliminates the beaching method entirely — the key environmental and compliance requirement of the HKC and EU SRR.
Engineered drainage and containment systems ensure zero contaminated discharge to the marine environment.
Integrated environmental monitoring systems provide real-time compliance data throughout the recycling process.
