Ship Recycling India: Pioneering Sustainable Shipbreaking Practices

Ship recycling in India has emerged as a global hub for dismantling end-of-life vessels through safe and environmentally responsible practices. Major shipbreaking yards, especially in Alang, focus on minimizing hazardous waste, protecting coastal ecosystems, and ensuring worker safety. By adopting modern technologies and adhering to international standards such as the Hong Kong Convention, India’s ship recycling industry efficiently recovers valuable materials like steel, machinery, and other components. These sustainable practices not only reduce environmental impact but also support the circular economy, positioning India as a leader in responsible and eco-friendly ship recycling.
