Nor-Shipping, a global shipping organization, is set to host the inaugural Nor-Shipping Ship Recycling Conference in 2027 to promote sustainable, transparent and commercially viable ship recycling practices. With an estimated need for over 15,000 vessels to be recycled by 2032, an alarming increase from previous decades, this conference aims to educate and engage industry stakeholders in discussing the future of responsible ship recycling.
Scheduled for 9 June, the three-hour conference will offer valuable insights to owners, operators, financiers, insurers, class societies, and regulators, aiming to simplify the complexities of ship recycling and improve understanding of its challenges and opportunities. The conference will feature presentations on forecasting, capacity, expectations, steel, the Basel and Hong Kong Convention, and the target of a single global system, as well as discussions on shipowners' commercial realities, ESG, and transparency.
The conference committee, comprised of globally leading experts, seeks to broaden the conversation and provide value for a diverse audience. The Nor-Shipping 2027 exhibition and activity programme, running from 7 to 11 June in Oslo and Lillestrøm, Norway, will offer various dedicated conferences for the industry value chain.
