Modernizing Ship Recycling in Southeast Asia

A decade of driving change in Bangladesh's ship recycling industry

The Marhaz team has been involved in the ship recycling sector in Bangladesh since 2014, working for Standards Chartered Bank to bring their ship recycling clients into compliance with national laws and international standards.

Our work started as a yearly gap analysis based on KPI inspections to provide compliance status to the bank highlighting the next critical steps. But the program quickly evolved to also include workshops facilitating cultural change and process innovation to enable lasting change and continuous improvements in the ship recycling yard’s development efforts.

Today, the clients we have had in our program comprise three of the most evolved ship recyclers in Bangladesh; PHP, S.N. Corporation, and Kabir Group. Companies that set the benchmark for responsible, sound and safe recycling in Chattogram and Southeast Asia.

We are proud to have been involved in this epic journey and look forward to continuing our program for the benefit of the recycling sector in Bangladesh and a due diligent approach of the financing sector.

Key Highlights

  • Active in Bangladesh’s ship recycling sector since 2014.
  • Supporting compliance with national and international standards.
  • Driving cultural and process transformation through workshops.
  • Partnering with leading recyclers PHP, S.N. Corporation, and Kabir Group.

IHM Compliance in European Ports

Efficient IHM reporting and supervision to ensure compliance with EU regulations.

MARHAZ has since 2018 inspected around 200 ships and offshore assets (FPSOs) for hazardous materials following the provisions of the European ship recycling regulation and the HKS Hong Kong convention.

We have been the trusted and preferred service provider for the fishing fleet in Northern Europe as well as most of the offshore supply chain in the North Sea with regards to developing Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) documentation, providing follow-up services on asbestos management.

Lately we assisted Total Energies in preparing the needed IHM documentation for recycling of their FPSOs in A.R.S., Demark, remember also correlating the IHM documentation to the European Waste Codes.

With the Hong Kong Convention finally in force, and the demand for IHM development slowing down, we are now pivoting our business towards asbestos removal services for the maritime and offshore sectors as well as land-based industry where we leverage on our many years of experience in identifying and managing hazardous materials. We look forward to this new venture and hope to continue our effort in enabling a safe working environment.

Key Highlights

  • Inspected more than 200 ships and offshore assets since 2018.
  • Trusted partner for Northern Europe’s fishing fleet and North Sea offshore sector.
  • Delivered IHM documentation for Total Energies’ FPSO recycling in Denmark.
