"Ship recycling is recognised as the most environmentally sound method to dispose of ships at end of life, as most of ship’s materials can be re-used/re-purposed. However, current methods for ship recycling also make it one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, threatening human lives and negatively impacting our environment. The Hong Kong Convention sets out requirements designed to reduce the environmental impact and improve the health and safety of current ship recycling practices worldwide"--Plain language summary.
