Abstract
IMO is currently developing the International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. For a background description of the draft Convention and of the main issues that were under discussion at the end of 2006, see Mikelis (2006). During discussions on the development of the new Convention the need has arisen for referring to relevant statistics to quantify some aspects of ship recycling. The author has taken the opportunity to collate and present in this paper statistical data which will hopefully be useful to the reader.
