Ship Recycling Compliance in India: Advancing Safe and Sustainable Practices

Ship recycling compliance in India focuses on adhering to national and international standards that promote safe, environmentally sound, and socially responsible ship dismantling. With regulations guided by the Hong Kong International Convention and India's Recycling of Ships Act, 2019, the country's recycling yards—particularly in Alang—are upgrading facilities to meet global green standards. These compliance measures ensure proper waste management, worker safety, and pollution control, positioning India as a responsible leader in sustainable ship recycling practices.
