Turkey Implementation Hub
Leading Turkey’s Ship Recycling Modernization
At HKC, we are committed to driving the transformation of Turkey’s ship recycling sector to meet and exceed EU-aligned environmental and safety standards. We actively collaborate with Turkish authorities, industry stakeholders, and certification bodies to modernize facilities, enhance worker safety, and elevate environmental stewardship. Our mission is to establish Turkey as a Mediterranean hub of excellence for safe and sustainable ship recycling under the Hong Kong Convention.
Strengthening Regulatory Alignment

We provide expert policy advisory, facilitate cross-border regulatory cooperation, and assist in enforcement capacity building. Our engagement ensures Turkey maintains rigorous compliance, enhancing its reputation and leadership within the global ship recycling community.
Ensuring Facility Certification and Monitoring
We collaborate with competent authorities and certified organizations to provide ongoing oversight, facility audits, and certification services. HKC helps establish transparent compliance monitoring systems that ensure authorized yards operate safely and minimize environmental impact. Our technical assistance guides the implementation of state-of-the-art processes that protect workers while reducing pollution.
Provisioning Practical Implementation Tools
The Turkey Implementation Hub delivers practical resources tailored for local contexts, including facility authorization checklists, Turkish-language worker safety and technical training modules, and environmental compliance guides aligned with EU standards.
