Slide1: 

INTERGROUP DISCUSSION ON SOLUTIONS FOR SHIP RECYCLING Chris Horrocks Secretary General International Chamber of Shipping

Slide2: 

Industry Working Group on Ship Recycling BIMCO ECSA IACS ICS Intercargo Intertanko ITF ITOPF SIGTTO

Slide3: 

Some simple facts: Three separate and distinct industries Shipbuilding Shipping Ship recycling

Slide4: 

Some simple facts: Approx 50,000 ocean-going ships Approx 25 year average life Recycling is market driven Up to 2000 ships a year withdrawn for recycling

Slide5: 

Some simple facts: Very limited demolition facilities in the industrialised world China and Turkey have some recycling yards, and more may be commissioned in due course 80% of the world’s recycling capacity today is in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan

Slide6: 

Some simple facts: Ships do have potentially hazardous materials on board A decommissioned ship cannot sail under its own power There are not enough ocean-going tugs to tow old ships to the recycling yards Ocean towage is itself a risky activity

Slide7: 

Some simple facts: Recycling is concentrated in South Asia primarily because of the local use for recycled steel

Slide8: 

Some simple facts: Scrapping a vessel is a revenue source for the shipowner Today a shipbreaker may pay $7 million for a Capesize bulker Traditionally higher prices in South Asia than in e.g. China or Turkey

Slide9: 

An undisputed fact: The conditions in the recycling yards in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan have to be brought up to an acceptable standard

Slide10: 

Another undisputed fact: The South Asian yards nonetheless offer Genuine recycling capability Substantial employment opportunities Real benefit to local economies

Three Pillars of Sustainability: 

Three Pillars of Sustainability Environmental Economic Social

Slide12: 

Basic conclusions: We need recycling facilities For the foreseeable future, only Bangladesh, India and Pakistan have the necessary capacity The system works, but the conditions must be improved

Slide13: 

Solutions?

Slide14: 

Four issues to address: IMO Convention on Ship Recycling Improve facilities in recycling yards Designate approved recycling yards Involve the shipbuilding industry

Slide15: 

IMO Convention on Ship Recycling Industry guidelines on recycling IMO guidelines on recycling Guidelines not enough Need international regulation Need an internationally-agreed benchmark

Slide16: 

Draft IMO Convention: (a) Requirements for ships Design, construction, operation etc. Controls of hazardous materials Inventory of hazardous materials Preparation for recycling Recycling Plan Survey and certification

Slide17: 

Draft IMO Convention (cont): (b) Requirements for recycling facilities Controls on facilities Management Plan Removal of hazardous materials (c) Reporting requirements

Slide18: 

Improve facilities in recycling yards: Standards must be internationally- acceptable Need commitment of the Asian governments Need commitment from industry (“green passport”, gas-freeing etc.) Need enforcement by flag states But also commitment from other states?

Slide19: 

Designate approved recycling yards: Need approval system, based on internationally-agreed standards Need licensing arrangements

Slide20: 

Get shipbuilders involved: Green passport in standard format “Think disposal”

Slide21: 

In summary: The South Asian yards are needed, both by the shipping industry and by the local economies Conditions have to be improved Need IMO Convention Need approved facilities
