Ratification of Hong Kong Convention on Ship Recycling

This proposal urges EU member states to ratify or join the 2009 Hong Kong International Convention. The goal is to ensure ships are recycled safely and in an environmentally sound manner, aligning with EU interests in maritime safety and pollution prevention.

This affects ship owners, recycling facilities, and maritime authorities. Ratification aims to establish global standards, reducing risks to workers and the environment from hazardous materials found in ships.
