Jiangsu Changrong Steel
has become the fourth ship recycling facility in the world to earn Hong Kong
Convention certification, after ClassNK issued a Statement of Compliance.
The facility, located on
the Yangtze River in China’s Jiangsu Province, was found to be compliant with
Hong Kong Convention stipulations that its recycling methods be both safe and
environmentally sound, after ClassNK auditors carried out a thorough investigation
of the facility and the contents of its Ship Recycling Facility Plan (SRFP).
Now Hong Kong certified,
Jiangsu Changrong joins two other Chinese yards, Jiangmen Zhongxin Shipbreaking
& Steel in Guangdong, certified December 2012, and Dalian Shipbuilding
Industry Marine Service in Liaoning, certified September 2013, as well as
Japan’s Miyaji Salvage in Kagawa, certified December 2013. All four ship
recycling facilities have been certified by ClassNK.
