Classification society ClassNK
announced that it has issued the world’s second Statement of Compliance to
Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Marine Service Co., Ltd., confirming that it is in
compliance with the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and
Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009.
The Dalian Shipbuilding Industry
Marine Service Co., Ltd. plant (Changxing Island) was established as a repair
yard, but with ship recycling being carried out on its 500,000m2 site and
repair use dry docks, and an estimated annual recycling capability of
1,000,000LDT (light displacement tonnage: preliminary calculation standard for
determining the selling price of a scrapped vessel), it has one of the largest
capacities of China’s ship recycling facilities.
The Dalian Shipbuilding Industry
Marine Service Co., Ltd developed its Ship Recycling Facility Plan (SRFP) in
preparation for the incoming convention. An SRFP is required by the competent
authorities when authorizing a Ship Recycling Facility to be in compliance with
the convention. As an independent third party organization, ClassNK confirmed
that the SRFP met the requirements of the convention, and that the facility is
carrying out recycling according to its SRFP.
This marks the world’s second
issuance of an SOC for the Hong Kong Convention; the first issued to Jiangmen
Zhongxin Shipbreaking & Steel Co., Ltd. (CEO Liang Zhuo Quan) by ClassNK in
December 2012.
