In this forum, our Project Manager for Green Services, Mr Rakesh Bhargava gave a talk on "Can ship recycling ever really be green at a cost acceptable to shipping?" It was an interesting topic where we get a lot of feedback and comments from the floor especially during the panel discussion.
Below are amongst other topics focussed in the conference :
- Asian shipowners and what they look for when scrapping - top dollar or a green solution? Role of NGOs on China's recycling industry
- Lessons from Bangladesh - real progress to improve standards or a pyrrhic victory
- A mixed message for shipowners? What is the policy position on recycling during the interim period, based on current dealings with regulators in Northern Europe?
- Do China's recycling facilities represent the way forward for scrapping? What is the capacity for scrapping in China and is it going to be enough?
- What are the drivers for recycling in China? What are the scrap and build incentives?
The conference was well attended by a good mix of ship owners, financiers, bankers and legal community.
