India Implementation Hub
Driving India’s Leadership in Safe Ship Recycling
At HKC, we are committed to advancing India’s position as the world’s largest and safest ship recycling hub, centered on the renowned Alang facility. We will partner with regulatory authorities, industry leaders, and worker communities to modernize infrastructure and operational practices that meet and surpass Hong Kong Convention standards. Our support ensures India’s ship recycling industry grows sustainably while protecting ecosystems and workers alike.
Support for Gujarat Maritime Board Initiatives
We actively collaborate with the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) to oversee the ongoing transformation of Alang’s ship recycling yards. HKC provides technical expertise and strategic guidance focused on compliance with the Ship Recycling Act and Hong Kong Convention mandates. We assist in streamlining regulation implementation, enhancing worker safety programs, and optimizing operational protocols to solidify Alang’s role as a global benchmark for responsible recycling.
Strengthening National Policy Framework
HKC is dedicated to bolstering India’s comprehensive national policies that promote safe dismantling, hazardous waste management, and worker protection aligned with international standards. We offer policy advisory and capacity-building services that enhance regulatory frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, and monitoring systems, ensuring India meets its global obligations while fostering industrial development with social and environmental integrity.
Enhanced Facility Mapping for Transparency
We facilitate the deployment and continuous refinement of India’s interactive facility mapping tool, distinguishing compliant from non-compliant yards. This transparency initiative promotes regulatory oversight, supports industry benchmarking, and encourages facility upgrades. Our deployment of data analytics empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding capacity planning and compliance prioritization across India’s ship recycling ecosystem.
Comprehensive Implementation Tools
HKC provides targeted resources including a detailed Alang facility transformation roadmap and multilingual safety training materials (Hindi and Gujarati) designed to upskill workers. We support the development of India-specific hazardous material management networks and coordinate financing solutions via governmental and banking partnerships to secure capital for technology advancements, facility upgrades, and rigorous compliance adherence.
