First ISO 30000 certification for LRQA in
the East Mediterranean & Black Sea
Aliaga Ship Recycling has become the
first ship recycling company in Turkey to successfully implement the Ship
Recycling Management System standard and achieve ISO 30000:2009 certification
from leading assurance provider LRQA.
Cengiz Temurtas, Aliaga Company Manager
said: “We are proud of being the first ISO 30000 certified company in Turkey.
By having this high value-added system implemented to our organisation, we are
now much more confident with the quality of the business we conduct and meeting
our valuable clients’ high expectations that are increasing day after day. We
would like to thank to LRQA and their auditors who have added extra value to
our company with their unique Business Assurance approach during their
assessments.”
This was also the first ISO 30000
certification for LRQA in the East Mediterranean & Black Sea region and a
big step for Lloyd’s Register Turkey in developing new business opportunities
with the many ship recycling companies in the country and two new ISO 30000
contracts have already followed. Apart from ISO 30000 certification, LRQA
Turkey has delivered their core assessment services into this growing sector
including certification to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and
18001 OHSAS (occupational health and safety).
ISO 30000 certification is highly
influential in the global rush to comply with the new European Union (EU)
Regulation on Ship Recycling and the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
Hong Kong Convention. LRQA, as a member of Lloyd’s Register Group Limited, has
strong foundations in the maritime industry which greatly assists Lloyd’s
Register Marine in continuing their world leading position in ship recycling.
