The conference will highlight the challenges to promote a responsible & sustainable future for the green ship recycling industry by developing transparency measures and complying with human rights & environmental rules.
The two-day conference will consist of a number of informative sessions followed by interactive Q&As, presentations giving a deep insight on views shared from different aspects of the ship recycling process, as well as panel discussions to further involve delegates.
