I am eyeing this boat to buy and scrap.

It is an assault landing craft, guesstimated at 100 tons of
displacement/weight.

[For a moment, I considered invading some country with my equipment and
personnel, we have a real "candidate master of shooting sports" on
staff, as well as a captain and driver, and some military vehicles,
but then I gave up on the idea.]

So, back to scrapping. My idea was to buy this assault ship, find a
marina to beach it, cut it up, extract the 12V-71 diesels for sale,
hydraulic winch, and scrap the rest. I do not foresee any technical
problems with cutting up this boat, assuming that it is safely on
land.

My question is how much of an issue are marine or environmental
regulations. I have never dealt with stuff like that and I do not want
to get in over my head. Is that a situation that is tightly
controlled, or kind of laid back like cutting up commercial trucks?

The yard charges can be substantial, due partially to the strict
regulation of hazardous materials near the water.
But perhaps the vessel is serviceable. A survey might be in order.
