Now we await COP 2025 where the Basel Convention might include the HKC specifically for ships. At the same time we need the technical guidance provided in the Basel Convention to be included in the HKC. While working in ship recycling and management of hazard waste we do look up to the technical guidance notes for reference provided in the Basel Convention. We understand that HKC is not enough in itself, both the connections are important and both must be applied with clear application of provisions of The BC in the HKC. We would further require some of the provisions of the EUSRR to be included in the Basel Convention. #Shiprecycling #baselconvention #cop2025
