The Recycling of Ships. A major analysis by Nikos Mikelis

By James Brewer

Shipping industry chiefs will need to continue to support and to channel their business to demolition yards thatare investing in improved standards, until governments finally bring into force the standards of the Hong Kong

convention.

This call is contained in a treatise written by Nikos Mikelis, who has been called the “father” of the Hong Kongconvention for his work at the International Maritime Organization, and who is now in the private sector.

Nine years after its formal adoption, the Hong Kong International Convention for the safe and environmentally soundrecycling of ships has yet to enter into force, having attracted only 10 signatory or ratification nations, although theseinclude the huge Panama-flag fleet which lent its backing in 2016.

In his 52-page booklet, The Recycling of Ships, Dr Mikelis urges the European Commission to play a larger role.Following the voluntary initiatives taken by the shipping and the ship recycling industries, Brussels is in a position tomotivate further the virtuous cycle of improved standards for improved rewards, by approving the leading yards in India.In this way it would help increase the number of ships whose owners are seeking responsible recycling in the traditionalrecycling centres.

His advice comes as pressure is growing on shipbreaking capacity globally. In the first half of 2018, 29 very large crudecarriers were among 100 tankers reported sold for scrap, and it is likely another 20 will be sold in this way by the end ofthe year. The leading receiving nations remain India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. China has banned the imports ofinternation-flagged ships for scrapping as from the end of 2018, and is reported to be turning away such deals already.This means that fully green options are scarce.

Dr Mikelis says that profiting from compliance with Hong Kong Convention incentivised numerous recyclers in India’sprime centre of Alang to start upgrading and to seek convention statements of compliance for their yards.

Whereas in 2015 most of the recycling industry in Alang was openly hostile towards the convention, attitudes changedand by the end of 2017 half of Alang’s 120 yards had obtained compliance statements from members of the InternationalAssociation of Classification Societies.

At the time of Dr Mikelis writing, limited progress had taken place in Bangladesh (and even more so in Pakistan), but oneof the largest yards in Bangladesh had taken notice of the growing international expectations for improved standards andresponded with “startling” improvements to its infrastructure and working procedures.

A few weeks ago, Bangadesh confirmed its first deal to recycle a ship – a Vale very large ore carrier named Ore Victoria– to Hong Kong Convention standards. Class society Rina had granted a statement of compliance to the yard concerned.

Dr Mikelis, a non-executive director of ship cash buyer GMS, makes the point that ship recycling is an informal industrywedged between two powerful players, the steel industry and the shipping industry. (GMS says that it is the only cashbuyer to have recognised the need for a responsible recycling programme which includes contractual and proceduralarrangements to ensure that end-of-life ships are recycled in a responsible manner.)

His material will form a part of a forthcoming book on the future of the ship recycling sector of which Dr Mikelis will bea senior author.

He was employed by the IMO from early 2006 until his retirement at the end of 2012 as the officer responsible fordeveloping a new international convention on safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships He oversaw thedevelopment of the Hong Kong Convention and of its six guidelines, after which he was closely involved, mostly in aninformal capacity, in developing the new European Union Regulation on Ship Recycling.

Dr Mikelis writes: “Throughout my involvement with ship recycling I have been aware of a gap in the publicunderstanding of the functionalities and the economic aspects behind this very niche industry, and on the eve of the fullapplication of the new European Regulation I felt compelled to write this booklet so as to share my knowledge, shedsome light, and hopefully correct certain misapprehensions about the industry.”

He says that ships retain significant economic value at the end of their life, as their steel, non-ferrous metals and theirmachinery and equipment are sold for recycling, reconditioning and re-use. This value can often represent 10% or moreof the newbuilding value.

For the last 20 years, yards in the five leading ship recycling countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Pakistan and Turkey)have between them been dealing with 97% to 98% of the global total. For long periods, China has recycled 25% to 30%of the world total and for other periods almost withdrew from the market.

The dominant position is noted of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, which for the last 20 years have recycled more thantwo thirds of the world total.

It is often claimed that the market dominance – two-thirds of the global total – of the south Asian recycling countries is aresult of their lower labour costs and lower compliance costs. This however is only one part of the competitive advantage.Dr Mikelis points to the additional income recyclers in south Asia derive from selling equipment, machinery, furniture,stores, parts, and so on, in the impressive second-hand markets in Alang, Chittagong and Gadani.

In south Asia there are many rerolling mills making steel products, such as reinforcing bars for the construction industry,by heating and reshaping semi-finished steel products, such as billets, or plates from recycled ships.

India in the last two years has overtaken the steel-making industry of the US and is heading to become in a few years’time the world’s second largest steel maker, says Dr Mikelis.

He is scornful of the attempts by environmental activists and some European politicians to promote recycling facilities inEurope. Such groups claim that this would provide best practice recycling services to international shipping, and in sodoing, create much needed jobs and prosperity. “But it makes no sense to recycle large ships in Europe to produce scrapthat will have to compete with the large quantities of other European ferrous scrap in order to be sold and transported tocountries most of which already recycle ships.”

In a historical overview, Dr Mikelis recalls that ship recycling first entered the agendas of the Conference of the Parties(COPs) of the Basel Convention. In December 1999 COP 5 instructed its technical working group to develop guidelinesin collaboration with IMO for environmentally sound management of dismantling ships.

IMO responded positively to an invitation from the Basel Convention COP7, in 2004, by developing a conventionspecific to ship recycling, namely the Hong Kong Convention.

While the Basel Convention might have been most successful in fighting against illegal exports of hazardous wastes, itwas unsuitable for defining minimum standards for ship recycling. The author’s view is that the attempt by theinternational community in the early 2000s to establish and enforce the Basel Convention as the regulatory regime forrecycling of ships was an avoidable mistake.

IMO’s marine environment protection committee completed the draft text of the new international convention, which wassubmitted to a diplomatic conference in Hong Kong in May 2009. The conference was attended by representatives of 63member states, two associate members, and other interests.

The equitability between the recycler and the shipowner in the convention lay in the fact that a ship flying the flag of aparty to the convention would have be recycled in a party yard and therefore the costs of compliance would pass back tothe shipowner. Avoidance of obligations through reflagging would cease to be possible after all five main recyclingcountries become parties.

The convention has been opposed and is frequently criticised by activists for not banning the beaching method ofrecycling. This persistent lobbying has led to beaching being associated with poor recycling standards. The developers ofthe convention had realised that banning beaching would not be viable as presently more than three quarters of theworld’s capacity uses this method. Had the convention tried a ban, this would have led to two distinct regimes, one inaccordance with the standards of the convention, and one unregulated by international standards.

The convention will enter into force 24 months after the date on which 15 states, representing 40% of world merchantshipping, have acceded to it or ratified it. The combined maximum annual ship recycling volume of those states mustconstitute not less than 3% of their combined merchant shipping tonnage. The key to entry into force is thereforeaccession by two of the four large recycling nations (ideally India and China as the hazardous waste managementinfrastructure and many of the yards of both are already well developed).

The convention has a truly realistic chance of being ratified by all recycling countries, including the three south Asiancountries, writes Dr Mikelis. It is a reasonable expectation that within the next four to seven years it will enter into force.In the meantime progress has been taking place as the main ship recycling countries are working towards implementingtighter safety and pollution prevention requirements.

Recyclers from south Asia have expressed concern that once their countries are parties to the agreement any powerfulgroup of opponents to beaching may introduce an amendment to ban the method, but specific provisions afford protectionto all parties by ensuring that the introduction of amendments will have to be done in a spirit of compromise and

cooperation.

Early in 2012, the European Commission having recognised that the enforcement of its own Waste Shipment Regulationfor recycling ships was not working embarked on the development of new legislation for the recycling of Europeanflagged ships.

Whereas the new European regulation is similar to the convention, it appears that certain requirements might be used tojustify a ban on beaching.

Non-European flagged ships departing from European Union ports will continue to be subject to the Waste ShipmentRegulation, which forbids their export to developing countries. All ships visiting European Union ports, regardless oftheir flag, will be required from December 2020 to be provided with inventories of hazardous materials.

By the beginning of 2018 none of the non-EU applicant yards had been inspected or approved by the Commission.

In 2005 the Brussels based NGO Shipbreaking Platform was set up to coordinate the activities of 19 environmental,human rights and labour rights organisations. Without their relentless demands it is conceivable that the convention mightnot have been developed. On the other hand, the activists, and more specifically the Platform, “have shown a total lack ofknowledge and interest to learn how the shipping and the ship recycling industries work.” The result is that theircampaigns are, more often than not, impractical or unworkable, claims Dr Mikelis.

The Commission so far has given mixed messages as to what it intends to do about the beaching method. in summer2013, an adviser of the Green Party in the European Parliament managed, unnoticed, to make small changes to the agreedtext in some of the EU languages, including English. The changed text in essence requires that: “the handling ofhazardous materials, and of waste” must be done on impermeable floors, as opposed to the agreed text, which referred to“the handling of hazardous materials and waste” (i.e. the word hazardous applying to both materials and wastes).

As in European regulatory language an “end-of-life ship” is considered “waste”, but not necessarily “hazardous waste”,it follows that the changed text can be interpreted as requiring that nothing from the ship must touch the beach. This pointobviously had been invented as an impassable obstacle to beaching. The issue remains unresolved. By preventing theprogressive-minded European market from using compliant yards in south Asia, the EU regulation would torpedo theprogress that has taken place so far, argues Dr Mikelis.

At least at present, no legal responsibility can be attributed to shipowners for the way they recycle their ships. “Theactivists ignore whether legal responsibility applies or not, and instead imply a moral responsibility for the shipowner.But as we know the world of commerce does not work like that.”

Corporate Social Responsibility, which is a business approach that relies on voluntarily taking responsibility for acompany’s effects on the environment and on social wellbeing, is the one kind of responsibility that can motivate ashipowner to consider and select the most appropriate recycling yard for his end-of-life ship.

Dr Mikelis warns that “the conclusion and the plain truth is that unlike most conventions that regulate the shippingindustry, the dual nature of the Hong Kong Convention will allow shipowners to avoid their obligations for as long asthere are ship recycling countries that are not parties to [it]. Conversely, when all five main ship recycling countries areparties to the convention then its requirements will become the universal standard for all ships and all recycling yards.”
