To deliver a comprehensive Ship Recycling Plan, all aspects of a ship’s design, construction, operation and refurbishment history must be carefully considered and taken into account. This requires the collation of build, installation and maintenance records for full visibility of building materials and substances present onboard.
An inventory of hazardous materials (IHM) survey, should also be carried out prior to completing the plan to ensure that all potentially hazardous materials (asbestos, PCBs, ODS etc.) are identified and managed through remediation as appropriate.
