Ship Recycling

December 1, 2024

Update: 01 Dec 2024

Provisional guidance on the implementation of the Hong Kong and Basel Conventions with respect to the transboundary movement of ships intended for recycling

IMO issued the attached IMO circular HKSRC.2/Circ.1 on Provisional guidance on the implementation of the Hong Kong and Basel Conventions with respect to the transboundary movement of ships intended for recycling, dated 1 November 2024.

The IMO Ship Recycling Convention (IMO HKC) enters into force in June 2025. For the shipowners, it was important to stress that besides the IHM requirements, shipowners must undertake several surveys of their fleet and obtain a ship recycling certificate. This will even be a requirement for non-HKC flagged shipowners through port state controls.
