As such, there are various actions that shipowners will be required to

The Industry Working Group on Ship Recycling was first established in 1999 and is co-ordinated by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS).Its current members also include BIMCO, IACS,INTERCARGO, INTERTANKO, IPTA, OCIMF and ITF.
The following ‘Transitional Measures for Shipowners Selling Ships for Recycling’ have been developed by the Industry Working Group since the adoption of the ‘Hong Kong Convention’. The intention is that this
guidance will be updated periodically as the new IMO standards are implemented by governments and more experience is gained.
These measures are also supported by the national shipowners’ associations in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile,Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, HongKong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Liberia, Mexico,Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey,United Kingdom and United States.
Ultimate responsibility for conditions in ship recycling facilities must rest with the authorities in those countries where they are situated. However,the shipping industry fully accepts its responsibility to do what it can to
minimise potential problems before the new Convention enters into force,and to help ensure that redundant tonnage is disposed of safely.
This includes the preparation and maintenance of inventories of hazardous materials in order to reduce the risk to workers in recycling yards.
Ship recycling is undoubtedly a ‘green’ industry and employs a large workforce. In the process of recycling ships that have reached the end of their working life almost nothing goes to waste.
However, while the principles of ship recycling may be sound, the working practices and environmental standards in some recycling yards can sometimes fall short of internationally acceptable standards.
