Feedback on the European Commission’s initiative to update the European list of ship recycling facilities
The responds to the public consultation on the 16th European list of ship recycling facilities and raises concerns on the proposed inclusion of two beaching recycling facilities: YSI Recyclers LLP and Shree Ram Vessel Scrap Pvt, located in Alang, India.
Despite claimed improvements, both yards still rely on the beaching method where ships are dismantled directly on a tidal beach. This method is widely recognized as the cheapest and lowest standard in ship recycling and does not ensure compliance with the EU Ship Recycling Regulation.
The EU cannot approve abroad what it does not authorise at home.
