EU updated the European List of ship recycling facilities

The European Commission on 27 July 2023 updated the European List of ship recycling facilities.

The authorisation of San Giorgio del Porto S.p.A., a ship recycling facility located in Italy, expired on 6 June 2023.

The authorisation of Modern American Recycling Services Europe (M.A.R.S. Europe) and Fayard A/S, ship recycling facilities located in Denmark, expired respectively on 23 August 2023 and 7 November 2023.

The Commission has received information from Italy and Denmark that the authorisations granted to those facilities to conduct ship recycling have been renewed prior to their expiry, in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013.

Furthermore, Denmark informed the Commission of changes concerning the maximum ship dimensions accepted by M.A.R.S. Europe and its maximum annual ship recycling output and concerning the maximum annual ship recycling output of Fayard A/S. The European List should therefore be updated accordingly.

The Commission has received three applications, in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013, for Anadolu Gemi Söküm Orman Ürn. Gida Tur. Nak, San. Ve Tic. A.Ş., BMS Gemi Geri Dönüşüm San Ve Tic. A.Ş. and Kiliçlar Geri Dönüşümlü Maddeler Ve Metal San.Tic A.Ş., ship recycling facilities located in Türkiye, to be included in the European List.

Having assessed the information and supporting evidence provided and gathered in accordance with Article 15 of that Regulation, the Commission considers that the facilities comply with the requirements set out in Article 13 of that Regulation to conduct ship recycling and to be included in the European List. The European List should therefore be updated to include those facilities.

The Commission has been informed of changes in the contact details of Dales Marine Services Ltd, a ship recycling facility located in the United Kingdom.
