ACI’s Ship Recycling Summit will take place October 2014 in Singapore, allowing shipowners, brokers, cash buyers, steel merchants and ship breaking yards to come together in an informal setting to discuss the challenges that they each face in meeting the Hong Kong convention requirements and the challenges brought about by new EU regulation.
