WHAT EVERY SHIP OWNER NEEDS TO KNOW:

 

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS ARE TOUGHmv

  • Canadian law required generators of waste to perform due diligence to avoid ongoing environmental liability.
  • Ontario permits transfer of both ownership and any on-going liability, once waste is received by a legal receiver in Ontario.
  • This transfer of ongoing liability is not possible in the United States, due to the "Superfund Regulations", which assures generator is forever liable.

 

OWNERS ARE ACCOUNTABLE

  • As vessels become obsolete to their owners, environmental responsibility continues until the vessel is properly and completely recycled.
  • MRC has towed and safely recycled more than 100 vessels to date, without claim for any loss.
