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.

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.
