Pakistan could potentially begin the ratification process for the Hong Kong Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, a move that if completed will result in the convention being adopted by all top four ship recycling nations.
Asif Khan, vice president of the Pakistan Ship Breakers’ Association (PSBA) told delegates at the Tradewinds Ship Recycling Forum held in Dubai on Tuesday that the Pakistani government, through the Ministry of Maritime affairs, has, together with the PSBA, decided, in principle, to proceed with the signing and ratification of the Hong Kong Convention.
