Listen "Inside the Markets: Japan – HKC readiness, IHM compliance, and ship recycling outlook"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Inside the Markets series from GMS Podcasts, we focus on Japan, a shipping market known for its steady approach, long-term relationships, and carefully planned fleet strategies.
Jamie Dalzell, Head of the GMS Singapore Office, speaks with Amit Malhotra, Head of the GMS Japan Office, about how Japanese shipowners are responding to the Hong Kong Convention (HKC), their plans for Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) compliance, and the factors shaping future recycling volumes.
The discussion covers:
How HKC enforcement is influencing Japanese owners’ compliance timelines
IHM preparation requirements, costs, and service options
Yard availability and certification trends in the Indian subcontinent
Market conditions driving potential recycling candidates, including PCCs, wood chip carriers, and LNG vessels
How GMS structures flexible and value-driven deals for owners of vintage assets
From shifts in PCC trade patterns to upcoming newbuild deliveries, Amit shares insights on where the next wave of Japanese recycling may come from and how GMS is supporting owners through planning, compliance, and execution.
