Episode 1: The Origin Story of the Hong Kong Convention with Dr. Nikos Mikelis and Dr. Anand Hiremath

Episode 1: The Origin Story of the Hong Kong Convention

This episode launches the GMS exclusive podcast series on the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (HKC).

Host Henning is joined by Dr. Nikos Mikelis, former senior official at the IMO and key contributor to the HKC, and Dr. Anand Hiremath, Chief Sustainability Officer at GMS, to explore:

  • Why existing international regulations failed to address unsafe ship recycling

  • What led the IMO to create a new, ship-specific framework

  • How the Hong Kong Convention was developed from the ground up

  • What “safe and environmentally sound” recycling actually means in practice

This episode provides critical background for understanding the Convention before it enters into force on June 26, 2025.

To mark this milestone, GMS is hosting a live three-part webinar series: “HKC Compliance: What the Maritime Industry Needs to Know”

The first session, “From Convention to Transformation”, takes place on June 25, 2025.
