That certificate is to be supplemented by the inventory of hazardous materials and the ship recycling plan. The format of the ready for recycling certificate must be consistent with Appendix 4 to the International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships adopted in Hong Kong on 15 May 2009 (‘Hong Kong Convention’).
