Green Seas: A podcast by TradeWinds

How to recycle a ship: three ways


Listen Later

In this episode, TradeWinds technology editor Craig Eason talks with Nikos Mikelis.

Mikelis worked at the IMO developing the Hong Kong Ship Recycling Convention which has now come into force. He explains why the Basel Convention secretariat asked IMO to write rules specific for ship recycling and how it then became a thorn in shipowners' side when it did not allow the resulting convention it to be equivalent.

Then there is the EU ship recycling regulation, well meaning but ultimately offering more complexity to what should really be a smooth end of life process.

Mikelis also looks at the demand for recycling facilities and whether the main recycling countries can handle volumes.


Producer and host: Craig Eason
