2 2 THE CHALLENGE Ship recycling carries high social, environmental, health and safety risks No effective global regulation nor accepted voluntary standards exist to ensure a consistent approach Different approaches mean that good practice does not always get rewarded and bad practice can often go unchecked Few business incentives for shipowners to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their vessels and to be proactive in changing the existing industry narrative THE OPPORTUNITY Being transparent about shipowners ship recycling policies and practices will create fair competition, improve performance and hold the shipping industry to account for their vessels - from cradle to grave Ship recycling transparency will help investors, cargo owners and other stakeholders be accountable for their supply chain

3 3 STRATEGY Increased transparency will raise the profile of ship recycling and the need for shipowners to take responsibility for their vessels, from cradle to grave create fair competition hold the maritime industry to account protect interests of industry stakeholders increase pressure on underperformers expand responsible ship recycling options OBJECTIVES improve transparency in the ship recycling value chain increase disclosure of ship recycling policies and practices enable and encourage cargo owners, financial stakeholders and others to make informed decisions that will in turn drive improved performance create a level playing field for shipowners, covering the lifespan of a ship

4 4 WHAT IS THE SRTI? The SRTI aims to accelerate a voluntary market-driven approach to responsible ship recycling practices through transparency throughout a vessel s entire lifecycle; and subsequently to influence and improve decision-making about ship recycling, creating an industry-wide level playing field. The SRTI works through an online platform for sharing information on ship recycling. Shipowners submit data on their approaches to ship recycling; cargo owners and financial stakeholders use this data to make more informed decisions. The SRTI is not a performance standard nor a rating exercise not a performance standard nor a rating exercise; neither will it rank nor assess individual ship-owners policies and practices. Our vision is of a world where ships are recycled responsibly socially, environmentally and economically meeting and going beyond international conventions and norms.
