13 Transfer Operation: International Fleet Taiko: Norwegian vessel carried category 1 and 2 chemicals to Finland and category two chemicals to US ArkFutura Danish vessel carried category 1 chemicals (DF and HD) for tarnsloading to Cape Ray. In addition, some category 1 chemicals and 2 chemicals to UK and Finland Cape Ray: US vessel equipped with Field Deployable Hydrolysis System to neutralise DF and HD on board
14 Transfer of chemicals by International Fleet
15 Working together for a world free of chemical weapons Chemicals Destruction Outside of Syria Destruction of chemicals was organised through in-kind contribution of some States Parties (US, UK and Germany) or in commercial disposal facilities (Finland and US) Cape Ray-US vessel In-kind contribution by US Received and completed destruction of 20 tonnes of sulfur mustard and 580 tonnes of DF Ekokem-Finland Commercial facility selected by tender process Received and completed destruction of 320 tonnes of category 1 & 2 chemicals Destroying DF effluents resulted from Cape Ray operation (28% progress) Ellesmere Port High Temperature Incinerator-UK In-kind contribution by UK Received and completed destruction of 200 tonnes of category 1 & 2 chemicals;
16 Cape Ray: Field Deployable Hydrolysis System
17 Destruction outside of Syria Mexichem-UK In-kind contribution by UK Will destroy 7 tonnes of HF by January 2015 Veolia ES Technical Solutions- US Commercial facility selected by tender process; Received 65 tonnes of category 2 chemicals Completed 65% of destruction GEKA, Munster-Germany In-kind contribution by Germany Destroying HD effluents resulted from Cape Ray operation (36% progress)
18 Destruction of chemicals Progress Progress in Destruction of Syrian Chemicals and Related Materials As of 1 Decmber 2014 Total Category 1* Total Category 2** Total Chemicals (Cat. 1 and 2) Total Amount Amount Destroyed Destroyed (%) 1,046,981 kg 1,046,981 kg 100.0% 261,040 kg 231,856 kg 88.8% 1,308,021 kg 1,278,837 kg 97.8% * ** Total amount comprises the quantities of Category 1 chemicals which have been transferred outside of Syria and which have already been destroyed in Syria (isopropanol).
