Abstract: Ship recycling is the activity of dismantling of a ship at a ship recycling facility (SRF) in order to recover components and materials for reprocessing and re-use, including management of hazardous and other materials on site. It is estimated that at present, globally around 20,000 ships over 500 gross tonnages are more than 20 years old and will soon be sent for recycling. For the last twenty years, ship recycling yards in Bangladesh, China, India, Pakistan and Turkey have been recycling 97% of all the recycled tonnage in the world, in which the share of Bangladesh is over 25%. The increase in demand for ship recycling has rightly led to an increase in regulatory pressure at both national and international levels. This regulatory pressure resulted in the development of the Hong Kong International Convention (HKC)for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships in 2009, to mandate safety and environmental protection standards at yards and ensured Ship Recycling Facility Plan (SRFP), documenting the yard’s systems, facilities and processes. The recycling facilities in South Asia mainly use the open beaching method and which may release pollutants into the coastal environment. Suitable and more safer alternatives method like slipway, alongside and dry dock recycling techniques are already being used in China, Turkey and Western facilities, but it incur huge cost.Most recently, the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) was adopted, and according to this regulation, beaching method is not permitted as well as ships under EU flag need to be recycled at European List of ship recycling facilities. All the potential competitors around the globe like China, Turkey and India are already working on upgrading their ship recycling yards to meet the international standards. It is thus evident that necessary measures should be taken to upgrade ship recycling yards in Bangladesh to maintain competitiveness by complying with international regulations. It is a depth study of existing ship recycling facilities in Bangladesh to develop a strategic planto meet the international standards keeping beaching method intact.
