The present invention is characterized by cutting and breaking up a hull of large ship in the floating situation on the sea so as to shorten the length of the hull, transporting the broken up objects to a product making workshop, and subdividing said objects further thereby breaking up into products. Said product making workshop is constructed so as to supply power etc. required for the breaking up process. A breaking up method according to the present invention does not require harbor facilities such as crane etc. so that it does not have any limitation with respect to the breaking up place and since it allows the product making operation from the broken up objects to be performed on the sea, the breaking-up process can be simplified.
A method of breaking-up a ship hull characterized by utilizing a cutting workshop having its own buoyancy and a product making workshop connected to said cutting workshop and having its own buoyancy, drawing a hull to be broken up into said cutting workshop and breaking up said hull, transferring the obtained broken-up objects to said product making workshop where said objects are worked into given products, power etc. necessary for said cutting workshop being supplied from said product making workshop.
