Abstract
Perfect green ship recycling is a costly affair. But, viable green ship recycling with the merging of present usual practice (beaching method) in Asian countries is very much possible. In recent decade ships are beaches in mainly in few Asian countries; such as Bangladesh, India, China and Pakistan, allowing locals to dismantle the vessel with less preventing measures. However, those countries are doing a great job as they are in fact doing recycling of obsolete old ships end of their life with good efficiency, but with less professional manner. Currently, three-quarters of the shipping tonnage recycled annually occurs on the beaches of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, employing over 150,000 workers in the process. On the other hand, it is estimated that as of today, globally around 20,000 ships over 500 Gross Tonnage are more than 23 years old and will soon be sent for recycling. IMO has introduced Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (HKC)in 2009. But the HKC has not been ratified yet by the majority of the countries involved. Significant decisions that will be made in 2017as per EU ship recycling regulation have the potential to significantly alter the global ship recycling industry. If the EU decides to Dr Statement of Compliance (SoC) standards and applied for EU approval, it could be a huge boost to the already booming investment in improving standards in Alang as well as other yards of South Asia countries. In this way, viable ship recycling process and practice will continue to progress and achieve standard ship recycling at HKC certified yards will become the custom for all ship-owners, not the omission. To make viable and sustainable ship recycling standard, all three Asian ship recycling major players need to be work together jointly and effectively. Key words Ship recycling, Compliance, Beaching, viable practice, etc.
