LR Certified The Recycling Facility Of Nova Scotia, R.J. MacIsaac (RJMI), According To Environmental Protection System Requirements.

Lloyd’s Register (LR) certified the recycling facility of Nova Scotia, R.J. MacIsaac (RJMI), in compliance with the requirements of the International Hong Kong Convention For The Safe And Environmentally-Friendly Ship Recycling.

RJMI became the first Canadian facility to receive a Statement of Compliance (SoC) to the Hong Kong Convention for international ship recycling standards, which is set to come into effect in June 2025.

Vessel recycling is an important practice to ensure that ship dismantling is conducted safely and sustainably. The ship deconstruction process must follow international regulations to avoid negative impacts on the environment.

RJMI was required to demonstrate that its environmental protection systems, workforce safety, and emergency preparedness exceed the strict conditions of the convention. LR also certified that the company operates in accordance with its own environmental, social, and corporate governance policies.

Adopted in 2009, the Hong Kong Convention is overseen by the International Maritime Organization and aims to ensure that ship recycling does not pose unnecessary risks to humans or the environment. It pertains to the environmental and safety conditions at ship recycling facilities and the hazardous materials on board the vessels being recycled.

Hakan Erkal, senior inspector at the LR office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who worked closely with RJMI on the project, said: ‘As a pioneer in the industry for Canada, RJMI has demonstrated a real commitment to ensuring that the high safety standards observed at their facilities align with those required by this international convention. With less than two years until the Hong Kong Convention comes into effect, it is encouraging to see shipyards like RJMI pursuing certification for these requirements.’

Boyd MacIsaac, president of RJMI, added: ‘Our focus on continuous improvement in safety, environmental protection, and efficiency is the reason we are achieving these international certifications. We are determined to remain the leading recycler of green marine vessels in Canada. Moreover, meeting increasingly stringent international standards for safety, environmental protection, and efficiency allows us to compete not only in Canada but also abroad.’

RJMI has deconstructed a variety of vessels, including the Offshore Gas Production Platform Deep Panuke and vessels from the Canadian government, ranging from warships to ferries, at its Sheet Harbour facilities in Nova Scotia. It is currently dismantling and recycling the former CCGS Hudson.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

China occupies the desert with a 2 GW solar power plant in Inner Mongolia, installs elevated panels that create shade and humidity over the sand, and transforms a 2.96 billion kWh per year farm into an unexpected weapon against desertification.

An R$ 330 million dam in Spain has been ready since 2015, stores up to 30 hm³ of water, but remains without agricultural use because no one built the necessary channels to bring water to the fields.

ChatGPT becomes a central piece in a lawsuit against OpenAI after an attack at a US university, and the case raises an uncomfortable question about how far artificial intelligence can be held responsible.

With a price of R$ 96,790, fuel consumption of up to 15.4 km/l, and leadership among hatches in 2026, the Hyundai HB20 Limited 1.0 enters the dispute against Volkswagen Polo and BYD Dolphin Mini, attempting to dominate the market below R$ 100,000.

Successful in the 90s and early 2000s, the video store will donate its entire collection on May 30 and 31. Approximately 10,000 DVDs will be distributed through the initiative of businessman Fabio Moschetta.
