Analysis of ship dismantling, disposal and recycling in Canada

Transport Canada’s objective is to assess and determine the capacity of the available vessel disposal facilities and service providers across Canada, identify the legislative and regulatory requirements imposed upon them and determine how these Canadian requirements compare with international requirements under the Hong Kong Convention and the EU Ship Recycling Regulation. Results of this study should provide an assessment and comparison of each province and territories capacity to dispose of the anticipated number of vessels reaching end of life annually and the regulatory framework in which they operate.
