Best practices towards a more sustainable shipping industry

NYK: Scrapping Ships in an eco-friendly way

As the IMO Convention for Ship-Recycling 2009 requires, NYK Group prepares inventory lists of the volumes and locations of hazardous materials on board and posts the lists inside its vessels. The Group has also created a scrapping policy that focuses on securing safe, stable scrapping locations, underscores the importance of scrapping vessels in a n environmental-conscious way, and takes the IMO Guidelines and other items into consideration. In line with this policy, the Group selects scrapping yards that not only feature environmentally friendly conditions but also emphasize work safety. Under its unique agreements pertaining to the sale of vessels for scrapping, the Group also conducts on-site inspections upon delivery as needed to confirm that the safety and environmental conditions of the corresponding locations are compliant with the provisions of the agreements.
