The company carried out inventory studies on asbestos, atomic and radiation issues through accredited institutions, and after doing so, our Ministry approved the certification document. The news on the social media, unknown and unfounded documents or information were set out, and a smear campaign was launched on our industry. Mentioning the amount of asbestos, such as 600 tons, 900 tons, which is not on any ship in the world, harms our industry and the companies here. Although all the procedures were completed, the ship did not depart. It has a technical process. The trailer will be tied and insured. If it sets off towards the end of the month, it will be in Turkish waters in a month and a half. May our citizens rest in peace. The whole process is proceeding in accordance with the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, the Republic of Turkey Nuclear Regulatory Authority and the Brazilian Environment Institute and the Basel Convention.
