Concordia: Embracing Green Passports.ATHENS, Greece -- Green Passports and inventories, which document all the hazardous materials on board a ship, are in the process of becoming established concepts in the maritime industry. Several shipowners, such as Stena and Concordia Maritime (STO:CCORB) are now choosing to be at the forefront of future requirements.

Such an inventory forms part of what is known as a Green Passport, which specifies the hazardous materials in the ship's structure and equipment. Prior to being delivered to a recycling facility, an inventory of the stores and operationally generated waste and cargo residues is also to be added.
