Marco Polo Marine to Do 'Green' Ship Recycling in Indonesia
Marco Polo Marine announced it is venturing into "green" ship recycling at its P.T. Marcopolo Shipyard in Batam, Indonesia.
In addition to being awarded the permit by local authorities to conduct ship recycling activities, the group said it has become the first shipyard in Indonesia to be certified and awarded the ISO 30000:2009 certificate by ABS Quality Evaluations (QE). The ISO 30000 certification is recognized globally and often a prerequisite by shipowners as the shipping industry look to comply with the new European Union (EU) Regulation on Ship Recycling and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Hong Kong Convention.
Sean Lee, CEO of Marco Polo Marine, said, “Given the growing interest in sustainability by the shipping industry, we are excited to expand our shipyard services to include green ship recycling. With the ISO certification by ABS QE, shipowners can be assured that their vessels are recycled in safe and environmentally sound facilities.”
