 ClassNK, the pioneer and leader in promoting safer and greener ship recycling hopes to further encourage early implementation on compliance by offering a 10% discount on the issuance of HKC statement of compliance for the IHM to Green Award certificate holders. (For more information, please contact the Marine and Industrial Service Department (mid@classnk.or.jp).)
Jan Fransen of the Green Award Foundation, welcomed ClassNK’s decision to become an incentive provider: “We are grateful for the input and expertise that ClassNK has been contributing for years to the Green Award scheme through its membership on our Board of Experts. It is especially pleasing to see that our collaboration goes even further now. Responsible approach to all the issues around recycling of ships containing hazardous materials such as heavy metals, asbestos, ozone-depleting substances and others will benefit not only the maritime industry, but local communities, entire countries and the general public.“
Speaking on the occasion Tetsuya Kinoshita, ClassNK Senior Executive Vice President and the member of Board of Experts, the Green Award Foundation said. “As the IHM contains ship specific locations and quantities of hazardous substances on board, a ship recycling facility can utilize the information for its safe and environmentally sound recycling practices. Recognizing the IHM is a key element for better ship recycling. ClassNK is glad to team up with the Green Award Foundation to launch this collaborative initiative promoting IHM development. Together with the Green Award and the industry we will continue working for a safer and greener future.”
