II.1.4)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
The European Ship Recycling Regulation (SRR) entered into force on 30.12.2013. Yet shipowners may be tempted to avoid the new recycling-related requirements applicable to EU flag ships by re-flagging their ships to flag states which do not impose similar rules. To address the issue, a financial mechanism to incentivise shipowners to recycle ships in a safe and environmentally sound manner has been considered in the IMO/HKC and the EU SRR contexts respectively. Under Article 29 of the SRR, the Commission is invited to table, if appropriate, a legislative proposal regarding the feasibility of establishing a financial incentive for the safe and sound recycling of ships. The contractor will be tasked with investigating this feasibility, analysing earlier studies and advising on potential ways forward.
