For ship recycling yards in Aliağa, Alang, Chittagong and beyond — seeking premium contracts and digital authority in the post-HKC market.
Since June 2025, the Hong Kong Convention creates binding obligations for all facilities receiving commercial tonnage. Every major ship recycling nation — India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Pakistan — is now subject to international compliance standards.
At the same time, the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) requires EU-flagged vessels to recycle only at EU-listed facilities. ISO 30000 certification is the established route to EU list inclusion — making it both a compliance requirement and a commercial differentiator.
A certified yard can charge a 20–40% premium on LDT price compared to a non-certified competitor — certification pays for itself within the first contracted vessel.
HKC enters force — compliance mandatory
ISO 30000 certification rush — thousands of facilities in the pipeline
Full enforcement — non-certified yards excluded from premium tonnage
$13B market — ISO 30000 standard across all major hubs
European and Japanese shipowners contract exclusively with ISO 30000 certified facilities. Certified yards in Aliağa consistently achieve 20–40% higher LDT prices than non-certified counterparts.
Only EU SRR listed facilities can receive EU-flagged vessels and ships owned by EU-based companies. ISO 30000 certification is the primary qualification pathway for list inclusion.
A certified SRMS significantly reduces workplace accident risk through systematic hazmat identification, worker training, and emergency procedures. Lower incident rates translate directly to reduced insurance premiums.
