The responsibility for developing a comprehensive SRP rests
with the Ship Recycling Facility, although development of the SRP
is a cooperative effort between the Ship Recycling Facility and the
shipowner. The Ship Recycling Facility is best placed to understand
and describe the methods and procedures that it uses in its recycling
operations and it has knowledge of the available facilities and capabilities
for the safe and environmentally sound management of all Hazardous
Materials and wastes generated during recycling, of the skills and
capabilities of its workforce and the availability of local support
services, and of the relevant national laws and regulations that apply
to the facility and its activities, including the activities which
it is approved to perform under its DASR. A sample cover page for
the SRP is included in the appendix. The body of the SRP should include
a more detailed narrative of the ship-specific recycling elements.
The SRP should describe how the Ship Recycling Facility
will recycle the specific ship in a safe and environmentally sound
manner, covering the recycling process steps and their sequence over
the entire process. Any processes or procedures that deviate from
the SRFP and are specific to the ship should be described in detail
in the SRP.
Where more than one Ship Recycling Facility is used, SRPs
should be prepared separately, in principle, by each of the Facilities
involved, according to their respective duties and indicate the order
in which the activities will occur.
