Developing the environmental legislation on ship recycling

Considering that worldwide, between 200 and 600 large end-of-life ships are broken up and recycled each year, the paper reviews the need to reduce the environmental, occupational health and safety risks related to ship recycling. An analysis is made, among others, of Regulation No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council 14 June 2006 on shipment of waste, as well as IMO Resolution A.962 (23) Guidelines on ship recycling, as amended, and a Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal. The author is urging to establish mandatory requirements at the global and regional level in order to ensure an efficient and effective solution of the problem of ship dismantling. The future Convention dealing with ship recycling, under auspices of the International Maritime Organization, will have repercussions on the waste shipment regulation and other European Union law on environmental protection and safety at work, along with the impact on the recycling market.
