MOST end-of-life ships usually meet their demise on the beaches of the Indian subcontinent or Aliaga in Türkiye, with the ship recycling industry not being known for a culture of safety or environmental consciousness.
But the long-term efforts of NGOs, regulators, flag states, shipowners and the recycling industry have done much to improve things in recent years.
