New ISO standards for recycling ships to meet eco concerns

The international organization for standardization (ISO) has release the first document in a new series of management system standards regarding the recycling of ships.
The new series, ISO 30000 ship recycling management systems, has been designed with the goals of supporting environmental protection and increasing the safety of workers.
ISO 30000 has been developed to assist stakeholders-large and small-in the uniform implementation of the international marine organization's (IMO) requirements on ship recycling.
The series of standards will increase transparency, facilitate trade, provide a clear reference for industry and constitute a valuable risk assessment tool. These IS0O standards can be used by any organization and for ships of all types and sizes, everywhere, employed in international and domestic trade alike.
