The Hong Kong Convention at Year One: A Success Story and the Way Forward for Responsible Ship Recycling

Friday, June 26, 2026

Overview

As the Hong Kong Convention completes its first year in force, this webinar will take stock of what has changed on the ground and where the industry goes next. The discussion will look at the progress made by shipowners, recycling states, yards, regulators, and cash buyers, while also addressing the practical challenges that still remain around capacity, compliance, enforcement, and transparency. The aim is to have an open conversation on how HKC can continue to strengthen responsible ship recycling and become a truly global standard for the industry.
