Abstract
The special nature of India's steel industry lends particular importance
to ship recycling as a source of scrap. Ship recycling in upgraded 'green'

energy savings and air pollutant emission reductions for the Indian
steel sector. The following article examines these themes and highlights
the difficult compromises surrounding ship recycling in India.
