Classification
society ClassNK has completed a document review for a Ship Recycling Facility
Plan (SRFP) submitted by Tsuneishi Ship Recycling (Negros) (TSRNI).
This review will help verifying that the
facility is in line with the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe
and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (HKC) and marks the first
application by a recycling facility in Southeast Asia submitted to ClassNK for
verification, as well as the first facility designed to comply with the HKC
standard from its planning stage.
TSRNI is planned to build the facility in
Negros Occidental, the Philippines, to be operated under the umbrella of
Tsuneishi Group.
In preparation for the completion of the
facility, TSRNI developed the SRFP required to obtain certification from a
competent authority, according to the HKC. ClassNK reviewed the SRFP to ensure
that the document met with the HKC requirements.
As the final part of the verification
process, ClassNK will conduct the on-site inspection, including checks on
facilities and actual recycling practices, when ship recycling work commences
at TSRNI, to confirm its processes conform to the SRFP.
