Puthucherril.Ship recycling conserves resources, employs an unskilled workforce, and removes outdated tonnage. Operating mainly on the Indian subcontinent, this ‘primitive’ industry often results in loss of human life and pollution of the marine environment. Despite moral indignation, the international community has struggled to manage this industry and only recently completed the IMO International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. Using the Indian experience on shipbreaking as a case study, this book assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the Convention. The author argues that the Convention may not succeed because it fails to strike a balance between environmental protection, human rights, and commercial realities. The book offers recommendations for a holistic and integrated approach to a sustainable ship recycling industry.Legal aspects of sustainable development ;5.ShipsScrappingShipsRecyclingEnvironmental aspectsSalvageMarine pollutionLaw and legislationElectronic books.ShipsScrapping.ShipsRecyclingEnvironmental aspects.Salvage.Marine pollutionLaw and legislation.344.04/62Puthucherril Tony George921989MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459186303321From shipbreaking to sustainable ship recycling2084034UNINA
