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.’

Ship Dismantling

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.

Ship Dismantling

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
