Recycling guide

The International Chamber of Shipping, the International Shipsuppliers & Services Association, BIMCO and the International HazMat Association have developed a new guide to help both shipowners and ship suppliers comply with the current EU Ship Recycling Regulations and the Hong Kong Convention on Ship Recycling where ratification is anticipated next year. Under both sets of regulations, the shipowner must develop and maintain an Inventory of Hazardous Materials for each vessel they own. In support of this, ship suppliers must provide material declarations and Supplier's Declarations of Conformity for equipment delivered to the ship.
