Addressing a high-level industry conference in London, Nikos Mikelis, non-executive director of GMS, said ship recycling yards were improving in south east Asia.
He invited the Commission and a major representative group of top level shipping industry stakeholders to India, to witness the recycling process first hand at one of the country’s best yards.
The EU’s first technical interpretation draft says shipbreaking must be done from an impermeable floor and that could mean beaching is not permitted.
