Industry Groups Welcome Proposed Addition of Indian Yards to European Ship Recycling List
Major maritime associations have endorsed the European Commission's move to include two Indian facilities on the European List of Ship Recycling Facilities.
Global shipping associations have voiced strong support for a European Commission proposal to incorporate two Indian ship recycling facilities into the updated European List of Ship Recycling Facilities.
The joint position was issued by prominent maritime organizations representing diverse sectors of commercial shipping, including BIMCO, the European Community Shipowners' Associations, the International Chamber of Shipping, INTERCARGO, INTERTANKO, and the World Shipping Council.
The industry has maintained a long-standing position advocating for the inclusion of compliant non-OECD recycling yards since the European Union's regulatory framework governing ship recycling first entered into force.
The move to propose the certification of qualifying facilities in India represents a key step toward expanding legally approved, sustainable dismantling capacity for internationally trading shipowners.
