ISO 30000 refers to the International Organization for Standardization’s standards series related to ship recycling. These standards aim to provide a framework for safe and environmentally sound practices in the ship recycling industry, addressing concerns about the disposal of old ships and the potential negative impacts on the environment and human health.

What is ISO 30000:2009 – Ship Recycling Management Systems?

ISO 30000 is an international standard that focuses on the management of ships and marine technology, specifically addressing the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships. Officially known as ISO 30000:2009, this standard sets out specifications for a management system to enable an organization to formulate and implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and information about significant hazards or risks to health, safety, and the environment, which arise from ship recycling.

The main purpose of ISO 30000 is to address the various issues associated with ship recycling, including environmental protection, worker health and safety, and the proper management of hazardous materials. It provides a framework that helps ship recycling facilities to manage the entire recycling process in a way that enhances safety and environmental considerations. ISO 30000 aims to improve the environmental outcomes and safety practices of ship recycling activities by providing guidelines that facilities can follow.

ISO 30000 serves as a practical resource for ship owners, recycling facilities, and regulatory bodies, promoting best practices in the ship recycling industry and helping to ensure that ship dismantling occurs in a manner that minimizes impact on the environment and ensures the safety of workers. The standard is part of the larger ISO 30000 family, which collectively addresses various aspects of ships’ life cycles and marine environmental issues.
