All mentioned, a number of regulations of Serbia may be relevant to the field of waste management
and waste oil from vessels, including the vessels’ waste generated due to dismantling in shipbreaking
industry. At the same time bearing in mind the general rules in the field of environmental protection as
a basis for a general framework for the regulation of specific issues of waste oils, and certain special
rules governing the field of waste management [4].
Strategic and other documents relevant to the management of waste oils are mostly made in the past
5 years [4]:
Rulebook on the conditions, manner and procedure of waste oils;
Waste Management Strategy for the period 2010-2019. The;
Law on Ratification of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of
Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal;
National Environment Protection Program;
A report on the environmental situation in the Republic of Serbia for 2007. year.
Wastes from vessels dismantling
Waste from dismantling of vessels, i.e. a list of hazardous waste and materials that are obtained in the
process of vessels’ dismantling, included the Basel Convention on the transboundary movement of
hazardous waste and its disposition [5]. This Convention also provided provisions for the proper
removal and disposal of hazardous substances, and for the collection, sorting and recycling of waste
in an environmentally friendly way (the list of hazardous wastes and materials, health and safety of
workers, steel re-rolling, partial disassembly; scope of the guidelines; contingency plan).
Recommendation for cleaner dismantling of vessels
Some impact to the environment is unavoidable as long as the vessel under recycling is not separated
from the waterbody. The ultimate solution is dry docking as proposed in the Basel Convention document
[5].
‘‘Green’’ shipbreaking may soon become a priority, conventional single-hull tankers, which are prone
to spilling their cargo at collisions, will not be able to sail at international waters after 2016 and shall be
scrapped. This is expected to become a main activity for ship breakers worldwide. A decision taken on
the meeting of the Basel Convention on 29th October 2004, in Geneve, Switzerland has declared that
old ships should be considered as toxic wastes. Therefore, it is resolved that ships are required to be
cleaned from their toxic contents. This decision, if properly applied, is considered to be a very
important step towards having cleaner seas and coastlines. It requires a control system around the
sea and land borders of shipbreaking yards. Apart from the shipbreaking, the yards should also have
certified personnel to be specifically employed for firefighting, removal of insulating layer, cutting and
