Denouncing the double standards applied to Bangladesh when exporting garments vs. when importing waste vessels, Rizwana Hasan of #Bangladesh highlights their ratification of the #HongKongConvention will follow a dual competency, as the #BaselConvention has given legal cover.
Ingvild Jenssen of @ngoshipbreaking.bsky.social presents examples of facilities with #HongKongConvention Statement of Compliance found not to contain waste & dumping residues into water, thus not compliant with what #BaselConvention parties define as safe & environmentally sustainable.

🚢 Carry an inventory of hazardous materials
