The Lucion Marine website that is packed with information about Green Passports for ships is going to be launched next week.
Green Passports for ships, or given their more formal title, Inventory of Hazardous Materials are designed to help prevent ships from being broken up for recycling without first having all of the contaminants (asbestos, PCBs, heavy metals etc) removed and disposed of correctly.
Greenpeace have been campaigning to stop ships being beached on beaches in China and India and then taken apart with little or no regard for the impact on the environment or their workers health.
For more information on ship recycling from Greenpeace visit their website at http://www.greenpeaceweb.org/Shipbreak/bangladesh.asp and for more information about Green Passports for ships, visit www.greenpassport.net next week.
