Year: 2020 Language: English Author: Dromon Bureau of Shipping Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 33 Description: Ship scrapping terminology was first raised at the 44th MEPC session in March 2000, following a correspondence group which was established to research this issue and provide information about current ship recycling practices and suggestions on the role of IMO. Guidelines were developed by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) and finalized at the MEPC 49th session in July 2003. These guidelines were adopted as the: Guidelines on Ship Recycling by the 23rd Assembly in November-December 2003 by resolution A.962(23) and were subsequently amended by resolution A.980(24). Resolution A.962(23) - IMO Guidelines on Ship Recycling gives advice to all stakeholders in the recycling process, including administrations of ship building and maritime equipment supplying countries, flag, port and recycling States, as well as intergovernmental organizations and commercial bodies such as shipowners, ship builders, repairers and recycling yards. The guidelines noted that, in the process of recycling ships, virtually nothing goes to waste. The materials and equipment are almost entirely reused. Steel is reprocessed to become, for instance, reinforcing rods for use in the construction industry or as corner castings and hinges for containers. Ships' generators are reused ashore. Batteries find their way into the local economy. Hydrocarbons on board become reclaimed oil products to be used as fuel in rolling mills or brick kilns. Light fittings find further use on land. Furthermore, new steel production from recycled steel requires only one third of the energy used for steel production from raw materials. Recycling thus makes a positive contribution to the global conservation of energy and resources and, in the process, employs a large, if predominantly unskilled, workforce. Properly handled, ship recycling is, without question, a "green" industry. However, the guidelines also recognized that, although the principle of ship recycling may be sound, the working practices and environmental standards in the yards often leave much to be desired. While ultimate responsibility for conditions in the yards has to lie with the countries in which they are situated, other stakeholders must be encouraged to contribute towards minimizing potential problems in the yards.

Description: Ship scrapping terminology was first raised at the 44th MEPC session in March 2000, following a
correspondence group which was established to research this issue and provide information about
current ship recycling practices and suggestions on the role of IMO.
Guidelines were developed by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) and finalized
at the MEPC 49th session in July 2003. These guidelines were adopted as the: Guidelines on Ship
Recycling by the 23rd Assembly in November-December 2003 by resolution A.962(23) and were
subsequently amended by resolution A.980(24).
Resolution A.962(23) - IMO Guidelines on Ship Recycling gives advice to all stakeholders in the
recycling process, including administrations of ship building and maritime equipment supplying
countries, flag, port and recycling States, as well as intergovernmental organizations and
commercial bodies such as shipowners, ship builders, repairers and recycling yards.
The guidelines noted that, in the process of recycling ships, virtually nothing goes to waste. The
materials and equipment are almost entirely reused. Steel is reprocessed to become, for instance,
reinforcing rods for use in the construction industry or as corner castings and hinges for
containers. Ships' generators are reused ashore. Batteries find their way into the local economy.
Hydrocarbons on board become reclaimed oil products to be used as fuel in rolling mills or brick
kilns. Light fittings find further use on land. Furthermore, new steel production from recycled steel
requires only one third of the energy used for steel production from raw materials. Recycling thus
makes a positive contribution to the global conservation of energy and resources and, in the
process, employs a large, if predominantly unskilled, workforce. Properly handled, ship recycling is,
without question, a "green" industry. However, the guidelines also recognized that, although the
principle of ship recycling may be sound, the working practices and environmental standards in
the yards often leave much to be desired. While ultimate responsibility for conditions in the yards
has to lie with the countries in which they are situated, other stakeholders must be encouraged to
contribute towards minimizing potential problems in the yards.
