GMS organised with great success, its 3rd
Annual Work Retreat in the heart of ship recycling, in Bhavnagar, India earlier
this month. The GMS team flew in from across the world in order to participate
at the 3-day retreat, where many interesting ideas were exchanged. On the 1st
day of the retreat, a mini (half-day) conference was held, where the local
(Indian) and Bangladeshi yard owners were given the opportunity to speak and
express their views on various topics surrounding ship recycling and also green
ship recycling – an increasingly important facet of recycling in the Indian
sub-continent.
Later that day, Team GMS visited a selection
of ship recycling yards that are operating in compliance with the Hong Kong
Convention guidelines for the Safe & Environmentally Sound Recycling of
Ships and had the opportunity to meet and discuss with members of the staff at
the various yards about safety and training of workers, whilst taking pictures
of their recently concluded vessels that had just arrived Alang. Over 200
guests enjoyed a festive Gala Dinner later that evening at the famous Nilambag
Palace, a well-maintained Palace in Bhavnagar, where GMS also hosted an award
ceremony to commemorate their business associates and recyclers for their
cooperation over the last 25 years of GMS in ship recycling.
