The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and European shipowners welcomed the Hong Kong International Convention for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships entering into force globally this week.
Adopted by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in May 2009, the convention aims to reduce health, safety and environmental risks during the recycling of ships at the end of their operational lives.
