Webinar Ship Recycling 24 th september 2021, The many benefits of designing newbuilds for recyclingRiviera Maritime Ltd.
ISRA,introduction
• International Ship Recycling Association (since 2007) promotes sound and safe ship recycling on a global level;
• High standards for responsible ship recycling; • Standards of EU in conformity with standards ISRA;
• EU standards based on unambiguous technical requirements;
• If ship recycling facilities are in conformity with objective (EU) criteria than forISRA every new facility is welcomed;
• Level playing field is point of departure;

Members of ISRA, high standards, numerous investments
Numerous investments for safe and sound recycling:
• Ship Recycling Facility Plan;
• Impermeable floors;
• Asbestos treatment;
• Downstream Waste Management;
• Medical services;
• Safety precautions.
• No level playing field, competition with beaches isunequal and unfair;
9/23/2021 3
• Precondition shipowner and ship builder should be aware of shiprecycling;
• Education/awareness on maritime trainings institute is a must.Several attemps made to draw new vessel taking in accountrecycling.
• Ship recycling should be on the drawing board of the ship.

Recycling ships: awareness
Attention for recycling at the first stage of the proces
• Item should be is on the agenda ship recycling event.
• Not only technical approach
Role of financial institutions
• European Investbank Bank: no (partial) loan for new build if proper recycling according toEU rules is guaranteed;
• State oil fund in Norway: similar conditons;
• Other banks/financial institutions are formulating policies in this field;
9/23/2021 5
EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated act EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act
The EU taxonomy is a classification system, establishing a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities.
The EU taxonomy is an important enabler to scale up sustainable investment.
Provides appropriate definitions to companies, investors and policymakers on which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable;
9/23/2021 6
• Automotive (80%);
• Glas (21%)
• Textile (12%)
• Ships (97% or higher)
• Why put effort in increasing already high percentage of ship recycling?
Are the boarders reached?
9/23/2021 7
Recycling percentage (based on various statistical sources)
Re-use as much as possible parts of ships:
• Already vivid business in unused spare parts, used auxillaryengines, lamps etc.
• Passenger/cruise ships should be built (also) to sell components,figure can increase;
• Also for crew facilities on other types of ship.
9/23/2021 8
Technical (1)
• Melters want clean materials;• Avoidance of hazardous materials: no asbestos! • Construction: see that (oil) residues can not occur; • Use durable materials; • Use as les possible various materials: no need to separate; • No plastics/composite or other “harmless” polutants; • Attention for materials from electronics.
Outsourcing • Check and double check suppliers . See that environmental
requirements are met;
9/23/2021 9
Technical (2)
• Register exactly the places of materials that deserve attention (not because of regulations);
• Paradox: why should ships last 30 years?• Shiphull can be thinner and new technology can ben
introduced, saves raw materials
9/23/2021 10
Technical (3)
• Compared with other sectors, ship recycling is leading;
• Ship recycling can still make steps;
• Ship recycling must be part of the design of ships;
• Education institutes should pay attention in designing to shiprecycling;

Ship Lifecycle
Currently ships have a linear “life cycle”
rather than a closed loop.
The steel from the end-of-life ships is
recycled, however, most of the products,
parts and equipment do not complete the
circle.

Circular Approach
Throughout a marine asset’s life cycle,
there is currently an absence of a circular
economy approach.
Maritime industry needs practical support
in many areas to reduce costs, enhance
competitiveness and make a swift
transition to a low carbon circular
economy

Circular Approach
For example, remanufacturing is an important element of circular economy approach.
However, the remanufacturing intensity in the sector is very low.
Summary of European remanufacturing activities across industry sectors

Complexity of the ships and lack of standardisation
Ships are complex systems with many different components.
There is no standardisation on these components
Supply chain
Wide range of suppliers in the industry, hard to regulate and control
Long life cycle of ships
Average life of ships is 20 years. By the end of the ship’s life, most of the machinery/equipment is outdated
Toxic wastes from ships
Even though HKC has limited most of the toxic materials, there are still ships with high amount of toxic materials on
board. This makes the end of life operations dangerous for OHS&E

Preventive Market ChallengesLaws and regulations
Some laws and regulations prevents direct reuse/repair. (e.g. CE certification problems, IMO MARPOL Annex VI
regulation 13, the NOx Technical Code 2008.)
Reverse logistics
There is no reverse logistic culture or infrastructure. Too many different locations with small quantity of products/returns
Current ship recycling practices
Current yards mostly focus on steel, there is no knowledge on the other materials and equipment
Lack of awareness/interest
Currently there is lack of awareness in the maritime industry
Lack of market for refurbished/repaired parts
Lack of Market tools and transparency

Identification and Valuation of Equipment and Materials for Reuse, Remanufacturing and Recycling on Marine Assets
• Identify common products, parts and materials which
can be reused, remanufactured and recycled on board
ships and oil & gas assets
• Create assessment methodology for determining
ability for RRR
• Create valuation methodology for common products,
parts and materials
• Create survey methodology which can be integrated
into existing inventory of hazardous material (IHM)
survey
• Identify technologies to assist survey and reporting
process (cloud data storage, automated report
construction, NDT devices etc.)

RRR Workshop
A workshop with remanufacturing experts was organized in order
to assess the reuse, remanufacture and recycle potential of the
products, parts and materials
Also, the current challenges & barriers which prevent
remanufacturing in maritime industry were discussed
A survey tool was designed and experts were asked to assess
the end of life options for the pre identified equipment
Using expert judgements, experts answers were analysed with
AHP method to find top 20 equipment with the highest potential
of remanufacturing

Conclusion
There is a big potential for remanufacturing in
maritime but current challenges should be tackled
collectively to achieve success
The lack of awareness and lack of transparency for
information is creating a barrier for remanufacture at
the end of life
Though proper application of circular economy not
only environmental protection can be achieved but
also value extraction from end of life ships can be
maximized
There is no link/ feedback loop between design end-
of-life.
