Past event: Ship Recycling Congress

Identifying Methods to Increase Ship Recycling Profitability following Developments in EU and Global Regulations

Our 4th Ship Recycling Congress will provide practical solutions from shipping company experiences, aiming to educate the shipping sector on how to profit from the safe and efficient scrapping of end of life vessels.

The European Commission's List of approved ship recycling facilities will be discussed in detail, highlighting the effects that the list will have on the European Ship Recycling market. More topic items to be reviewed are methods to increasing ship recycling profitability despite low steel prices and current updates to green ship technology that promote more efficient ship recycling procedures.

Additionally the conference will follow up  on the potential solutions to dangers and health risks workers may be exposed to ports outside of the EU, as well as providing an insight into new technological and practical systems for hazardous waste tracking.

The two day conference will consist of a number of informative presentations followed by interactive Q&A sessions, panel discussions and an open discussion to further involve the delegates. These talk will give a deep insight on the views shared from the different aspects of Ship Recycling.

Taking part in the congress will undoubtedly allow participants to increase their understanding of Ship Recycling in order to form a practical business model.
