This will be a simple, workable and effective way of dealing with all aspects (health, safety and environment) of the recycling of ships and other marine structures without involving too many parties and certainly without creating any duplication, conflict or overlapping of responsibilities of various agencies. It will not take seven years; we should be able to achieve it within a year or two. We have only one world and we have to protect it for future generations. Let us not waste any more time and energy in the wrong direction. Let us concentrate our efforts for real solution. I urge upon the Greenpeace, the Friends of the Earth and similar other organisations (who care for the environment) to join hands in developing an international instrument and enforcing the same. Once we have an instrument, we can name and shame those who do not accept or abide by the instrument. Eventually we should succeed in getting everyone on board and move forward together.
