The Hong Kong International Convention (HKC) is now in force, but the regulatory playing field has never been more complex. The EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) and Basel Convention continue to apply, resulting in overlaps and new compliance gaps. This webinar demystifies the interlocking frameworks, pinpoints where conflicts emerge, and outlines actionable steps for operators, buyers, and yards.
Join us as we discuss
- HKC vs. EU SRR vs. Basel Convention: what has changed, and where do overlaps and gaps persist?
- New traceability and reporting requirements: what shipowners and facilities must do now.
- Handling transboundary shipments and facility authorisation bottlenecks.
- Harmonising ship records and recycling plans across multiple regimes.
- IHM certifications due by 26 June 2030 and necessary follow-up surveys.
- Improving transparency and data-sharing across supply chains.
