Registration date : 2024.02.20 Views : 72

Recently, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has issued guidelines regarding the UAE Ship Recycling Regulations (UAE SRR).

The UAE SRR imposes stricter requirements than the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) by prohibiting not only the beaching but also the landing method.
Furthermore, it prohibits changing the flag of a vessel with the intention of disposing of it in facilities that do not meet the regulations.
According to these guidelines, all foreign new ships of 500 GT and above calling at UAE ports, as well as UAE-flagged new ships, shall have an Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) on board the ship after June 26, 2025.
All foreign existing ships of 500 GT and above calling at UAE ports, as well as UAE-flagged existing ships are required to have the IHM on board the ship after June 26, 2030.

This technical information provided is based on the UAE SRR guidelines (FMA Circular No.19 of 2023);

however, as the specific application is not explicitly mentioned, additional information received via email from the relevant authority has been included.
UAE SRR represents UAE's own regulatory guidelines, so for precise details, it is advised to directly contact the relevant authority.
We hereby notify in advance that we do not assume any legal responsibility for the information provided in this technical information.
