COURSE OVERVIEW:

The recycling of ships is a complex process that presents significant environmental and safety challenges. This course provides an introductory overview of ISO 30000, the international standard for Management Systems for Safe and Environmentally Sound Ship Recycling Facilities. Participants will learn how this standard provides a framework for ship recycling yards to develop and implement procedures that protect workers and the marine environment during the demolition and disposal of end-of-life vessels.

The scope of this training encompasses the essential requirements for establishing a ship recycling management system. Attendees will explore the standard’s emphasis on the systematic identification of hazards, such as hazardous materials (asbestos, PCBs, heavy metals) and physical dangers inherent in shipbreaking. The curriculum introduces the concept of the "Ship Recycling Plan" and the "Inventory of Hazardous Materials" (IHM), which are critical components for compliance with international regulations like the Hong Kong Convention.

Coverage includes an introduction to the operational controls necessary for safe dismantling, waste management, and emergency response in a shipyard setting. The course addresses the social and environmental responsibility of the ship recycling industry, emphasizing the importance of transparency and continuous improvement. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how ISO 30000 helps facilities achieve operational excellence while meeting the stringent demands of global ship owners and environmental regulators.
