3 Leaders in Ship Building Leaders in Ship Recycling
Asian Presence From Cradle to Rebirth…..Full Care in Asia Leaders in Ship Building Leaders in Ship Recycling ASA IHS Markit “World Fleet Statics”, G/T basis <Explanation of Asian Presence in Shipbuilding and Ship recycling>           China, the Republic of Korea and Japan           were leaders in shipbuilding, accounting for     90% of global deliveries(GT) in 2017 Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and China accounted for 93% of global demolition(GT) in 2017

4 Why is HKC necessary? ASA appeals to necessity of Geographically-Balanced Green Recycling Unilateral regional regulations may play a role as booster for green recycling, but CANNOT be a fundamental solution toward green recycling throughout the world. Enactment of HKC is THE Key to Success!! “Geographically-Balanced” results in: Less Distance to reach yards; Less Bunker consumed;  “Less Damage to the Environment!!” “Green Recycling” Compliance with a Global Rule is NECESSARY for the global market Lack of Geographically-Balanced Green Recycling can lead to delay in replacement of environmental-friendly vessels

5 No HKC will generate serious negative impact
Non-level playing field Uncontrollable usage of substandard yards Difficulty securing HKC-compliant yards in timely manner Excessive-unworkable demand to upgrade from stakeholders Discourage yard operators from making upgrading activities caused by difficulty receiving adequate quantity of ships for recycling

6 HKC Enactment is Coming Soon
(1) Continued increase in number of countries joining HKC Ratified: We hope to gear up further through strong initiatives of IMO and ratified countries! (2) Ratification of China and India can Enact HKC fastest!!! ‘We used to be more passive participants, and now we’re more proactive… That’s a big change.’ - Mr Xie Zhenhua, China’s special representative of climate change affairs (FT Weekend 17 November / 18 November 2018)

7 Shipowner’s Responsibility
Shipowner’s responsibility toward Sustainable Recycling - keep close eye on development of recycling yards - close communication with recycling operators - clarification of criteria for yard selection Seeing is Believing!! Regular Visits and Communication can result in… - Accumulated experience in green recycling - Further efficiency of operations - Enhancement of competitiveness. Recycling Operators geographic point and economic point should be considered Co-work with related parties; yard class union welfare; living environment in ship recycle if country Motivation Up!! Business!!

8 What we are doing “Working Together”
Who are main players for Green Ship recycling?? Of course, workers & yard operators Motivate them by instilling a positive attitude through joint work with all parties concerned !! Avoid criticism by setting clear targets as an indication to assess progress in transparent and fair manner

12 ASA would like to stress again:
Why is HKC necessary? ASA would like to stress again: Only Available Instrument for Global Green Recycling is HKC. Justification of immediate enactment of HKC was confirmed 10 years ago with extensive time spent time in its preparation. Ratification by Ship Recycling Countries MUST be achieved. NOW is the TIME FOR ACTION!! → Ship Recycling Country’s Mission? Shipowner Country’s Mission? Timekeeper to enact soonest ?

13 Recent Developments On 27 March 2019, Japan became 10th country, and the first in Asia, to ratify the HKC. ASA sincerely hopes other Asian countries will follow Japan’s lead!!

14 Going Forward Ensure priority usage of HKC-certified yards & yards in process of obtaining certification - Motivate yards to justify upgrading. - Insert clause into sale contracts to specify above-categorized yards. Ensure voluntary preparation of IHM List onboard Strengthen joint work with other shipowner associations and stakeholders. - Speak out of ASA Voices for early enactment of HKC at every possible opportunity. - Setting an action plan and reviewing it for calling ad hock meeting in China!! Monitor EU developments & Approved EU list of Ship Recycling facilities together with other shipowner associations.

15 Thank You!!
