Using transparency to drive progress on responsible ship recycling
The Ship Recycling Transparency Initiative (SRTI) uses transparency to drive progress on responsible ship recycling by way of a one-stop shop online platform to report information on policies.
The SRTI is hosted by Smart Freight Centre (SFC), a globally active non-profit organization for climate action in the freight sector. This partnership facilitates collaboration amongst likeminded partners and strengthens both SFC’s and SRTI’s joint efforts towards sustainable shipping.
Why sign up to the SRTI?
The SRTI reflects a collective effort that brings together different players across the shipping industry beyond ship owners such as investors, cargo owners and broader stakeholders to improve ship recycling policy, practice and performance.
Leading companies across the shipping value chain have shared why they support the SRTI.
