How sanctioned ships are heading to Alang for recycling

·The Hindu·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

This means that these vessels, which are no longer seaworthy, are being sold to Indian buyers who specialize in dismantling and scrapping old ships. The significance of this trend is that it could potentially disrupt global shipping markets, as sanctioned ships are often forced to find alternative routes, and India's shipbreaking industry is a major player in the global market.
