The IMO (International Maritime Organisation) has agreed that there should be controls over the dismantling of ships and how the contaminants should be dealt with in a safe manner to protect the environment and workers.
The new "Green Passport" for ships will facilitate this by logging all of the hazardous materials utilised on ships. Examples are asbestos (lagging ad gaskets), CFCs (used in refridgeration etc), TBCs (dioxins) and ODC (ozone depleting compounds). A "single list" of these hazardous materials will accompany the vessel until it is recycled by a licenced ship recycling yard.
Lucion is one of the only companies that has already carried out complete Inventory of Hazardous Material surveys and delivered a complete reports to their client on vessels due to be recycled.
