Responsible Ship Recycling Starts Here

Help your recycling yard become a trusted partner for shipowners chasing ESG targets and qualifications for green financing on their next new builds.

Many floating vessels arriving for recycling claim to have no ballast water onboard. In reality, this is highly unlikely. Ships must maintain minimum stability when not carrying cargo — which requires a substantial amount of ballast water. Authorities are increasingly aware of the issue, and stricter inspections are expected.

For yards, this means a growing need for certified ballast water treatment on arrival — ensuring regulatory compliance, protecting the environment, and demonstrating responsible recycling practices.

What yards need to know about green finance

Shipowners are under growing pressure not just for operations, but also for end-of-life recycling to qualify for green financing on their next new builds.

While there’s no single “green finance” certificate for ship recycling. Instead, banks and financial institutions look for documented proof that ships meet environmental regulations and that recycling processes follow recognized best practices:

• Compliance with IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention (D2 standard)
• Use of certified ballast water and sediment treatment solutions
• Adherence to responsible ship recycling guidelines (e.g., Hong Kong Convention standards)
• Transparent documentation and reporting

Providing these services positions your yard as a leader in sustainable recycling  — and a trusted partner for shipowners chasing green loans and ESG targets.
