8.2 Delivery of the ship to the recycling facility

  8.2.1 At the end of a ship's operating life the shipowner is responsible for delivery of the ship to the recycling facility as described in the contract with the facility. In addition, the shipowner should provide the recycling facility with the ship's Green Passport and, if available, any technical advice from the shipbuilder or equipment supplier on dismantling as described in these Guidelines.

  8.2.2 Shipowners should ensure that appropriate insurance is in place to cover response and liability in respect of the voyage of the ship to the recycling facility. Shipowners should also have in place contingency arrangements in the event that either the ship is unable to complete the voyage to the recycling facility (e.g. due to bad weather), or the recycling facility is unable to accept delivery of the ship (shutdown of operations, etc.).

  8.2.3 The shipowner, having delivered a ship to a recycling facility, should inform the Administration accordingly in order to deregister the ship.
