A trio of major shipping banks say they want ship recycling to be a factor in new financing packages.
To that end, they are calling on shipowners to do more to track hazardous materials in ships.
ABN Amro, ING Bank and NIBC plan to present "Responsible Ship Recycling Standards (RSRS)" at Nor-Shipping Tuesday. The banks' joint communique on RSRS aims to "promote responsible ship recycling and minimise the dangers associated with hazardous materials on board of ships."
