Ship Recycling
INTERTANKO supports a sustainable and transparent global ship recycling industry and therefore the introduction of international environmental and safety standards for ship recycling through the entry into force of the Hong Kong Convention on Ship Recycling. Until the HKC is ratified and has entered into force, INTERTANKO will actively recommend the implementation of transparent and sustainable global ship recycling standards and industry initiatives that are aligned with the spirit and intent of the HKC.
The European Union implemented the EU Ship Recycling Regulation 2013. INTERTANKO will provide feedback on implementing the requirements of the EU SRR and urge the application of consistent safety and environmental standards for global ship recycling facilities. To assist Members in complying with current requirements, INTERTANKO will continue to develop guidance to assist Members in complying with rules and regulations on the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM).
