    PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK How the shipping industry, protected by Flags Of Convenience, dumps toxic waste on shipbreaking beaches December 2003 table of contents Introduction 3 Chapter 1: Top twenty polluters 4 Chapter 2: Flags Of Convenience - A Cover for Ongoing Pollution 7 Chapter 3: Breakdown of profits and environmental and health costs of shipbreaking 9 Chapter 4: The need for a mandatory regime on shipbreaking 10 Conclusions 11 Appendix I: Details of end-of-life ships exported by twenty shipping companies in 2001-2003 13 Appendix II: Overview of ownership and flag state countries linked to exports of end-of-life ships in 2003 20 Appendix III: Investigation on the dumping of toxic waste and compliance to voluntary Industry Code of Practise on Shiprecycling 22 2 Introduction The recycling or breaking of end-of-life ships containing toxic substances is a polluting and highly dangerous industry. Five years ago this was news, today it is shameful. It is a shame on those responsible for this ongoing pollution; the ship- ping industry. It is a shame on the international community that has so far refused to take any real measures to prevent the pollution and dangers. A huge but unknown quantity of toxic substances has been exported to Asia over the past five years in end-of-life ships. Six hundred such ships are broken annually with none ever being cleaned by the owner prior to export, and only very few being cleaned by their owner prior to breaking. More than 3,000 ships, and the toxic waste in the ships, have been exported over the last five years to Asian shipbreaking yards.

  • Gadani Ship-Breaking Yard
    Gadani Ship-breaking Yard According to statistics released by environmental advocate, non-governmental agency Shipbreaking Platform, South Asian yards now offer about $450 per light displacement tonnage, or LDT, while Chinese yards offer only $210 and Turkish yards slightly better at $280 per LDT. It is also showed that a large container ship weighs in at almost 25,000 LDTs. That translates into $11.25 million in India, but only $7 million in Turkey and $5.25 million in China. Furthermore, Shipbreaking Platform releases a yearly survey on the industry. During 2017, the organization recorded, the industry internationally scrapped 835 ships, which totalled 20.7 million gross tons. That’s a substantial fall from 2016, when 27.4 million tons were scrapped. The number of scrapped ships has declined by greater than 30 percent from the boom days of 2012 to 2013. According to Mulinaris’s research, during 2017, saw the demolition of 170 bulk carriers, 180 general cargo ships, 140 containers, 140 tankers, 20 vehicle carriers, 14 passenger ships and 30-40 oil and gas related units, which include platforms and drill ships. The research also mentioned that most decline into the category of small and medium-sized ships, ranging from less than 500 gross tons to 25,000 gross tons. Another study which was compiled by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the agency has forecast the acceleration of global ship breaking, notably oil tankers and container ships, from now on, but particularly from 2020 until 2023. This reflects the scrapping of ships built during the later half of the 1990s, with a useful life of 26 or 27 years.
