The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Hong Kong Convention and EU Ship Recycling Regulation, both of which address ship recycling and aim to standardize ship recycling facilities while harmonizing inspections.

 Türkiye, 2009 tarihli Gemilerin Emniyetli ve Çevreye Duyarlı Geri Dönüşümü Hakkında Hong Kong Uluslararası Sözleşmesi Hong Kong Sözleşmesini 2017 yılında onaylamıştır. Hong Kong Sözleşmesinin 17. maddesinde belirlenen yürürlük şartları Haziran 2023te Bangladeş ve Liberyanın da taraf olmasıyla tamamlanmış olup, Sözleşmenin 26 Haziran 2025 tarihi itibarıyla yürürlüğe girmesi beklenmektedir. Türkiye, dünya gemi geri dönüşümü sektörü içerisinde önemli yere sahip olduğundan, Hong Kong Sözleşmesi ile 12572013 sayılı Avrupa Birliği AB Gemi Geri Dönüşüm Tüzüğünün AB Tüzüğü incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, gemilerin geri dönüşümünü ele alan ve gemi dönüşüm tesislerine standart getirerek, denetimlerini yeknesaklaştıran Hong Kong Sözleşmesi ve AB Tüzüğünün, Türk hukuku perspektifinden incelenmesi ve gemi geri dönüşümünde önemli bir rol oynayan Türkiyenin konu ile ilgili hâlihazırdaki düzenlemelerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gemi sökümü ve geri dönüşümünün ekonomik faydası yadsınamaz, fakat bu faaliyetlerin iş sağlığı ve güvenliği ile çevrenin korunması bakımından riskleri de bulunmaktadır. Çalışmada bilhassa Hong Kong Sözleşmesi ve AB Gemi Geri Dönüşüm Tüzüğünün gemi geri dönüşümü faaliyetlerinde sorun teşkil edebilecek bu konulara ilişkin getirdiği standartlar ve bunların Türkiye bakımından uygulanabilirlikleri üzerinde durulmuştur.
