Japan-headquartered
classification society ClassNK has issued Statements of Compliance (SoC) to two
ship recycling facilities in Gujarat, India.
Shree Ram Vessel
Scrap Pvt. and Leela Ship Recycling Pvt. have been verified in line with the
Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound
Recycling of Ships, 2009 (HKC).
Both recycling
facilities have carried out substantial improvements to their facilities in a
bid to create safer and green ship recycling.
As well as this
they have developed the Ship Recycling Facility Plans (SRFPs) required for a
competent authority’s certification according to the HKC.
Shree Ram and Leela
were reviewed and ClassNk confirmed that their processes follow the respective
SRFPs in addition to conducting on-site inspections before issuing the SoC.
The SoC was issued
based on purely technical verifications of the facilities by ClassNK, as well
as encouraging safe and environmentally sound ship recycling in accordance with
the HKC.
