Ocean Network Express (ONE) has proceeded with its Green Strategy by implementing a Ship Recycling Policy and joining the Ship Recycling Transparency Initiative (SRTI).
ONE said that both moves align with its efforts to enhance transparency, promote ethical operations, and uphold high environmental standards throughout the entire lifecycle of its vessels.
ONE has established a Ship Recycling Policy, requiring that all its vessels be recycled only at certified and reputable recycling facilities that operate in compliance with applicable international regulations and standards.
In joining the SRTI, ONE will disclose its ship recycling policies and practices, supporting the initiative’s efforts to enhance accountability and sustainability within the maritime industry by encouraging voluntary data disclosure from ship owners.
Michimasa Noda, Senior Vice President of Sustainability at ONE, stated: “The development of our Ship Recycling Policy, together with our participation in the SRTI, marks a meaningful step forward in our ‘Clean Ship Recycling’ initiative – one of the seven key pillars of ONE’s Green Strategy.”
ONE’s announcement coincides with the upcoming entering into force of the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (HKC) on June 26.
